Template data[edit source]
Template for creating a standard Wikipedia hatnote. A hatnote is a short note placed at the top of an article to provide disambiguation of closely related terms or summarise a topic, explaining its boundaries.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Text | 1 | This field should contain the text that will be displayed in the hatnote. | String | required |
Extra classes | extraclasses | Extra CSS classes to be added to the <div> tags surrounding the hatnote text. | Line | optional |
Self reference | selfref | Set to "yes" if the hatnote text is a self-reference to Wikipedia that would not make sense on mirrors or forks of the Wikipedia site. (E.g. "For the Wikipedia Sandbox, see [[WP:SAND]]".) | Line | optional |
Category | category | Set to "no", "n", "false", or "0" to suppresses the error tracking category (Category:Hatnote templates with errors). This only has an effect if the hatnote text is omitted. | Unknown | optional |
