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}} →
See also: OTHER TOPIC, OTHER TOPIC2, and 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 Other uses2 (disambiguation).

{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →

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.

For other uses, see Other uses2 (disambiguation).

{{Other uses|PAGE1}} →

For other uses, see PAGE1.

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.

Notes

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.
