Template:See also/doc

This template is used to create hatnotes to point to a small number of other, related, titles at the top of article sections according to Layout. It looks like this:

It is not for use in the "See also" section at the end of an article.

Usage
&#123;{see also|page1|page2|page3|...}}
 * Basic usage:

&#123;{see also | page1 | page2 | page3 | ... | label1 = label1 | label2 = label2 | label3 = label3 | ... | l1 = label1 | l2 = label2 | l3 = label3 | ... | selfref = yes | category = no }}
 * All parameters:

Parameters

 * ,,  ... - the pages to link to. At least one page name is required. Categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.
 * ,,  ...; or  ,  ,  ...; optional labels for each of the pages to link to.
 * - if set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references to Wikipedia. See Template:Selfref for more information.
 * - if set to "no", "n", "false", or "0", suppresses the error tracking category (Category:Hatnote templates with errors). This only has an effect if the first positional parameter (the page to link to) is omitted.

Examples

 * &rarr;
 * &rarr;
 * &rarr;
 * &rarr;
 * &rarr;

Errors
If no page names are supplied, the template will output the following message:

If you see this error message, it is for one of three reasons:
 * 1) No parameters were specified (the template code was  ). Please use   instead.
 * 2) Some parameters were specified, but no page names were included. For example, the template text   will produce this error. Please use (for example)   instead.
 * 3) A page name was specified, but it contains an equals sign ("="). The equals sign has a special meaning in template code, and because of this it cannot be used in template parameters that do not specify a parameter name. For example, the template code   will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explictly by using ,  , etc., before the page name, like this:.

If you see this error message and are unsure of what to do, please post a message on the help desk, and someone should be able to help you.

Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Category:Hatnote templates with errors.
