{{#invoke:High-use|main|1=|2=|info=|demo=|form=|expiry=|system=}} {{#invoke:Message box|ombox}} {{#invoke:Lua banner|main}} {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|nolink=yes|code=yes|nowrap=yes}} is a commonly used hatnote template on Wikipedia, and should be placed at the top of an article (but following {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}}, if present), linking the reader to other articles with similar titles or concepts that they may have been seeking instead. The template has several formats, including:

• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}

Alternately, a section=yes parameter can be added to the {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|nolink=yes|code=yes|nowrap=yes}} 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:

• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}
• {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|code=on}} → {{#invoke:about|about}}

A |{{SAFESUBST:#if:text|text=}} option adds text to the end; this should only be used when truly necessary, when the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice.

The |{{SAFESUBST:#if:selfref|selfref=}}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).

For more options, find "{{#Invoke:Template link general|main|nowrap=yes|nolink=yes}}" in the text below.

For reference, see Wikipedia:hatnote and documentation below. {{#invoke:Navbox|navbox}}
