Sjabloon:Cat main/doc

Usage

This template is for use on Category pages, to refer to the primary article associated with this category, which most of the time, describes the entire set containing the category.

Normal usage (uses category name for wiki link):

• {{Cat main}} →
  The main article for this category is Cat main/doc.

If the name of the main article is different than the name of the category — for example: if the main article for Category:Dead or Alive is Dead or Alive (series) — then you will need to use one parameter to specify the article:

• {{Cat main|Dead or Alive (series)}} →
  The main article for this category is Dead or Alive (series).

Multiple articles

Simply append more articles as additional arguments (up to five):

• {{Cat main|1}} results in
  The main article for this category is 1.
• {{Cat main|1|2}} results in
  The main articles for this category are 1 and 2.
• {{Cat main|1|2|3|4|5}} results in
  The main articles for this category are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Pages which aren't articles

• {{Cat main|WP:WikiProject|article=no}} →
  The main page for this category is WP:WikiProject.

• {{Main|Main Article}} →
  Main article: Main Article
• {{Main|Main Article|Article2}} →
  Main articles: Main Article and Article2
• {{Main list|Article1}} →
  For a more comprehensive list, see Article1.

• {{Details|PAGE1}} →
  For more details on this topic, see PAGE1.

• {{Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}} →
  For more details on TOPIC, see PAGE1.

{{Details3}} allows any text to links:

  For more details on TOPIC, see article 1, article 2, and article 3.

"See also …"

• {{See also|TOPIC PAGE|OTHER TOPIC PAGE}} →
  Zie ook: TOPIC PAGE and OTHER TOPIC PAGE

Note: use only when OTHER TOPIC PAGE is related to current article and contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.

• {{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}} →
  See also: OTHER TOPIC, OTHER TOPIC2, and OTHER TOPIC3 and other text

  Further information: PAGE1, PAGE2, and PAGE3

Other uses of the same title

"This page is about … For other uses …"

{{About}} is the main template for noting other uses.

Note. When used in main namespace, the word "page" in the following hatnotes is replaced by "article".

• {{About|USE1}} →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor andere toepassingen, zie Cat main/doc (disambiguation).
• {{About|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor andere toepassingen, zie PAGE2.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2 and PAGE3.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2TITLE.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}} (When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a disambiguation page at this point) →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor USE3, zie PAGE3. Voor USE4, zie PAGE4. For USE5, zie PAGE5.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}} (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with default name – Note that the last page name is not specified) →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor USE3, zie PAGE3. Voor other uses, zie Cat main/doc (disambiguation).
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4}} (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with non-default name) →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor USE3, zie PAGE3. Voor other uses, zie PAGE4.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor USE3, zie PAGE3. Voor other uses, zie PAGE4 en Cat main/doc (disambiguation).
• {{About||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}} (When you don't need to state the focus of this article/page – Note the empty first parameter) →
  Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor USE3, zie PAGE3. Voor other uses, zie Cat main/doc (disambiguation).
• {{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
  Voor andere toepassingen, zie PAGE1 and PAGE2.

Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.

• {{Other uses-section|USE}} (disambiguous) →
  This section is about USE. For other uses, see Cat main/doc (disambiguation).

Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".

"For …, see …"

{{For}} can be used instead of {{About}} so as not to display: This page is about USE1. but still specify a specific other use. This effect can also be achieved by using an empty first parameter in {{About}} as in:

For example: {{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} is the same as {{About||OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} (note the empty first parameter).

However, it is somewhat clearer when using the {{For}} template, since the word "about" does not appear in the statement.

• {{For|OTHER TOPIC}} (disambiguous) →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see Cat main/doc (disambiguation).
• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1.
• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1, PAGE2, and PAGE3.
• {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
  For other uses, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.

Variations

As with {{Other uses}}, there is a whole family of "for" templates.

• {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see CUSTOM TEXT.

"For other uses, see …"

When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.

• {{Other uses}} (disambiguous) →
  Voor andere toepassingen, zie Cat main/doc (disambiguation).
• {{Other uses|PAGE1}} →
  Voor andere toepassingen, zie PAGE1.
• {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
  Voor andere toepassingen, zie PAGE1 and PAGE2.

Variations

There are, historically, a whole family of "other uses" templates for specific cases. {{About}} is the standard hatnote for "other uses" and many of them can be specified using the {{About}} template. However, the individual templates may be easier to use in certain contexts.

Here are the variations and (when appropriate) the equivalents using the {{About}}, {{Other uses}} or {{For}} templates.

• {{Other uses2|PAGE1}} (disambiguous) →
  Voor andere toepassingen, zie PAGE1 (disambiguation).

Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE1.

Note: {{Other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}} produces the same result.

• {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} →
  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor other uses, zie Cat main/doc (disambiguation).

Note: same as {{about}}, except it forces a second use to be noted if unspecified by parameters.

  Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor USE3, zie PAGE3.

Categories

Category-specific templates:

• {{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} →
  See also categories: THIS, THAT, and THE OTHER

This is a template for linking categories horizontally. Horizontal linkage is often the right solution when vertical linkage (i.e., as sub-category and parent category) is not appropriate. In most cases, this template should be used on both categories to create reciprocal linkage between the two categories.

• {{Cat main|MAIN ARTICLE}} →
  The main article for this category is MAIN ARTICLE.
• {{Category explanation|colourless green ideas}} →
  This category is for colourless green ideas.
• {{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}} →
  See also the preceding Category:TOPIC1 and the succeeding Category:TOPIC2.
• {{CatPreceding|OTHER TOPIC}} →
  See also the preceding Category:OTHER TOPIC.

  See also the succeeding Category:OTHER TOPIC.
• {{Contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2}} →
  Cat main/doc is often contrasted with OTHERCAT or OTHERCAT2.

Notes

Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:

1. propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
2. What links here (WLH) listing.

These templates are used in thousands of articles; therefore, changing the syntax could break thousands of articles. If you wish to create or edit a disambiguation or redirection template, first ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is there already a template that will do this job? Since many disambiguation and redirection templates have already been created, first check: Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates.
2. Do I really need a new template for this? Will it likely be used on any other articles or should I just use {{Hatnote}} instead? Before creating a new template, see the template namespace guideline.
3. If I change the parameters around on an existing template, do I know what the result will be? Will it break existing uses of the template and if so, can I fix all of the errors? Before making any changes, see Template sandbox and test cases.
