Template:For/doc

Usage

This template yields a hatnote, 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. {{For|other entities}} yields on page Foo:

For other entities, see Foo (disambiguation).

This kind of usage with exactly one parameter is rare. But it makes sense in some cases for disambiguation pages with the same type of other meanings.

With two parameters

The second parameter is used to change the resultant link, e.g. {{For|the acronym|FOO}} yields (wherever it is set, now independent of the article title):

For the acronym, see FOO.

With more parameters

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

For similar terms, see Foobar and Bar.

For similar terms, see Foobar, Bar, and Baz.

For similar terms, see Foobar, Bar, Baz, and Quux.

the last being produced by e.g. {{For|similar terms|Foobar|Bar|Baz|Quux}}.

The |selfref=yes option marks the entire hatnote as a Festipedia self-reference, causing it to be omitted when the page content is reused outside of Festipedia.
