Template:For/doc

Usage
This template yields a hatnote similar to Other uses, but allowing more flexible text with links to multiple articles or disambiguation pages. It accepts one or more parameters (zero is not allowed).

With one parameter (rare)
The first parameter sets the hatnote itself and should be plain text. Without any further parameter, it will link to a default disambiguation page for the article title, e.g. yields on page Foo:

This kind of usage with exactly one parameter is rare, as in most instances Other uses (and in this case, About with the same result) can be used more easily, and without any parameter. But it makes sense in some cases for disambiguation pages with the same type of other meanings, e.g. in Treaty of Lisbon:

However, for many such cases specific new templates have been implemented, like Other people, Other places etc. - see hatnote template overview box below.

With two parameters
The second parameter is used to change the resultant link, e.g. yields (wherever it is set, now independent of the article title):

With more parameters
The third, fourth and fifth parameters are used to give one, two, or three additional resultant links:

the last being produced by e.g..

The yes option marks the entire hatnote as a Wikipedia self-reference, causing it to be omitted when the page content is reused outside of Wikipedia (see self reference and MOS:SELFREF for more details).

Tracking category
Pages with errors reported by this template are added to Category:Hatnote templates using unusual parameters.
