I've removed the period from this template. After reviewing the various hatnote templates listed at Template:Hatnote templates documentation, there appears to be two types. The first kind outputs a complete sentence; all of these appear to end in a period. The second kind, of which this is one, outputs a label followed by a list of links; none of these end in a period. This seems to need more discussion, and should be applied to all or none. Anomie⚔ 03:38, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't the output of this template also be indented, italicized, and have a colon after "also", for consistency with Template:See also? WikkanWitch (talk) 15:25, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
class=rellink
is outdated). -DePiep (talk) 16:52, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]class=rellink
(indeed I added that one, replacing the explicit italicizing by ''. I did this in this edit [1], 2011). Later that class was cancelled because it was a copy of class=hatnote
; this template was not checked clearly.This template is only intended for use in the Category namespace. Please do not use it within articles
So what does one use in articles? I ask because I've just seen this template used in this revision of Princeton Theological Seminary (faculty and alumni sections) and it seems very useful to the reader. Is there an approved alternative to use in articles, and what's so bad about using this template there anyway? Chuntuk (talk) 08:30, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The earlier discussion Kaldari refers to is here: Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2014_November_27#Template:Category_see_also. PamD 16:35, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A thought: have we got one template being used for two rather different purposes? Would it be better if there was one template for use in "See also" sections of articles (eg the alumni situation which BHG mentions), and a separate template for use in Category space for messages about related categories?

To satisfy the WP:SELF concerns expressed at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2014_November_27#Template:Category_see_also, I have modified the template (see diff) by adding its output to the CSS class selfreference
.
I hope that satisfies the concerns of User:Kaldari, while still allowing the template to be used for purposes such as linking to categories of alumni. Thanks again to User:Chuntuk and User:PamD for their pointers. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:00, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

with a call to this template: {{Category see also|People educated at the High School of Glasgow}}
.Please removed
{{#if:{{{SISTER|}}}|[[Category:Pages using Template:category see also with deprecated syntax]]}}
The tracking category is empty and there are no instances of the template using |SISTER=
. Additionally the param is no longer supported so tracking of it can be removed from the template. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:07, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This
|project=
: Any valid interwiki or interproject prefix from de:, fr:, es: access to other language Wikipedias to cross-sister wiki's using sister projects abbreviations such as B:, Q:, S:, v: etc., and, where applicable, both interlingual and cross-project links can be rendered as follows:is not a sentence. I can guess at its meaning, but no way can I feel sure. Will somebody who understands the template please turn this into clear and grammatical English? --Thnidu (talk) 06:38, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Could one add per-category labeling much like in {{See also}}
. The name{{!}}label
trick doesn't work.Dpleibovitz (talk) 21:08, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please remove the period that is generated at the end of this template to make it consistent with Template:See also, which has not used one since this revision in 2011. The apparent consensus is that a period only appears at the end of hatnotes that form a complete sentence, like Template:Redirect and Template:Distinguish. The period is generated by lines 103 and 105 of Module:Category see also. — Goszei (talk) 03:08, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
