Editing Template:Hatnote/doc (section)

== Disambiguation ==
Templates such as {{T|About}} and {{T|For}} are to be used in cases where a disambiguation is not needed. In general, disambiguation pages should only be used for 4 or more titles that are mostly or entirely identical, except for a qualifier.
;{{T|About}}: Links the reader to other articles with similar titles or concepts that they may have been seeking instead. The template has several formats, including:
:;{{T|About|Use1}} →:{{About|}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|<nowiki/>|Main Page}} →:{{About|Use1||Main Page}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|<nowiki/>|Main Page|and|Main Page}} →:{{About|Use1||Main Page|and|Main Page}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|Use2|Main Page}} →:{{About|Use1|Use2|Main Page}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|and|Main Page}} →:{{About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|and|Main Page}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|other uses}} →:{{About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|other uses}}

Alternately, a <code>section=yes</code> parameter can be added to the {{T|About}} template for use at the top of a section. When using this parameter, the wording in the template changes to specify that it is being used in a section:
:;{{T|About|Use1|<nowiki>section=yes</nowiki>}} →:{{About|Use1|section=yes}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|<nowiki/>|Main Page|<nowiki>section=yes</nowiki>}} →:{{About|Use1||Main Page|section=yes}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|<nowiki>section=yes</nowiki>}} →:{{About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|section=yes}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|and|Main Page|<nowiki>section=yes</nowiki>}} →:{{About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|and|Main Page|section=yes}}
:;{{T|About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|other uses|<nowiki>section=yes</nowiki>}} →:{{About|Use1|Use2|Main Page|other uses|section=yes}}

A <var>text</var> option adds text to the end; note that this should be only used when truly necessary, and the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice. This template also supports <var>selfref</var>.

;{{T|For}}: Provides links to up to four articles or disambiguation pages. It accepts zero to five parameters. 

:;If used without parameters on a page named ''Foo'', the result is
::{{hatnote|For other uses, see [[:Foo (disambiguation)]].}}
:;The first parameter changes the hatnote itself and should be plain text, e.g. {{T|For|similar terms}} yields
::{{hatnote|For similar terms, see [[:Foo (disambiguation)]].}}
:;The second parameter is used to change the resultant link, e.g. {{T|For|similar terms|Main Page}} yields
::{{For|similar terms|Main Page}}
:;The third, fourth and fifth parameters are used to give one, two, or three supplementary links:
:*{{For|similar terms|Main Page|Main Page}}
:*{{For|similar terms|Main Page|Main Page|Main Page}}
:*{{For|similar terms|Main Page|Main Page|Main Page|Main Page}}
:the last being produced by e.g. {{T|For|similar terms|Main Page|Main Page|Main Page|Main Page}}.
