Modèle:Main/doc
Fichier:Edit-copy green.svg | This is a documentation subpage for Modèle:Main. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original modèle page. |
Fichier:Imbox content.png | This template is used on 140,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to the template. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
When a Wikipedia article is large, it is often rewritten in summary style. This template is used after the heading of the summary, to link to the sub-article that has been (or will be) summarised. This template can also be used in the Category namespace, but the preferred template for categories is {{Cat main}}.
This template is not to be used as a substitute for inline links or as a "see also". Its usage should be restricted to the purpose described hereinbefore.
Usage
{{Main |Article 1 }}
You may also include additional links, up to ten in total:
{{Main |Article 1 |Article 2 |Article 3 |Article 4 |Article 5 |Article 6 |Article 7 |Article 8 |Article 9 |Article 10 }}
For each link, you may optionally specify a link appearance (this is for articles where a piped link would be used). Note that the extra parameters use a lower case 'L', eg. l1 not 11:
{{Main |Article 1 |Article 2 |Article 3 |Article 4 |Article 5 |Article 6 |Article 7 |Article 8 |Article 9 |Article 10 |l1=Article 1 link appearance |l2=Article 2 link appearance |l3=Article 3 link appearance |l4=Article 4 link appearance |l5=Article 5 link appearance |l6=Article 6 link appearance |l7=Article 7 link appearance |l8=Article 8 link appearance |l9=Article 9 link appearance |l10=Article 10 link appearance }}

Hatnote templates
For a summary page on how to use these templates, see the example page here. For the full editing guideline on hatnotes, see Wikipedia:Hatnote.
Generic
- {{Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}} → CUSTOM TEXT
- {{Rellink|CUSTOM TEXT}} → CUSTOM TEXT
Other uses (of the 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}} → This page is about USE1. For other uses, see Main/doc (disambiguation).
- {{About|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) → This page is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.
- {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) → This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
- {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) → This page is about USE1. For USE2, see 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) →
- {{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) → This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see 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) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} → This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see PAGE4 and 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) →
- {{About|||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 Main/doc (disambiguation).
- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"See also …"
- {{See also|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2}} → See also: OTHER TOPIC and OTHER TOPIC2
- Note: use when OTHER TOPIC is related to that of the current article and already contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
- {{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}} →
"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 Main/doc (disambiguation).
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} → For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1.
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →
- {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
- Variations
As with {{Other uses}}, there are 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) → For other uses, see Main/doc (disambiguation).
- {{Other uses|PAGE1}} → For other uses, see PAGE1.
- {{Other uses|PAGE1|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) → For other uses, see 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}} → This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For other uses, see Main/doc (disambiguation).
- Note: same as {{about}}, except it forces a second use to be noted if unspecified by parameters.
- {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →

Categories
Category-specific templates produce bold category names.
- {{Category see also|THIS|THAT|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.

- {{CatSucceeding|OTHER TOPIC}} → See also the succeeding Category:OTHER TOPIC.

Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:
- propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
