Fyrimynd:Cat main/doc

Usage

Normal usage (uses category name for wiki link):

• {{Cat main}} →

• {{Cat main|Dead or Alive (series)}} →
  The main article for this category is Dead or Alive (series).

Multiple articles

Simply append more articles as additional arguments (up to five):

• {{Cat main|1}} results in
  The main article for this category is 1.
• {{Cat main|1|2}} results in
  The main articles for this category are 1 og 2.
• {{Cat main|1|2|3|4|5}} results in
  The main articles for this category are 1, 2, 3, 4 og 5.

Pages which aren't articles

"Høvuðsgrein: …"

{{Høvuðsgrein}} is used to make summary style explicit, when used in a summary section for which there is also a separate article on the subject:

• {{Høvuðsgrein|Høvuðsgrein}} →

Høvuðsgrein: Main Article

• {{Høvuðsgrein|Høvuðsgrein|Article2}} →

Høvuðsgrein: Main Article

• {{Main list|Article1}} →
  For a more comprehensive list, see Article1.

"Fyri at lesa um fleiri smálutir um …, sí …"

{{Details}} can supplement {{Main}} in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:

• {{Details|PAGE1}} →
  For more details on this topic, see PAGE1.
• {{Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}} →
  For more details on TOPIC, see PAGE1.

{{Details3}} allows changing the displayed name for links. Unlike {{Details}}, it requires bracketed link notation:

• {{Details3|[[NTSC#Color_encoding|NTSC Color encoding]]}} →
  For more details on this topic, see NTSC Color encoding.
• {{Details3|[[article1|Article 1]], [[article2|Article 2]], and [[article3|Article 3]]|TOPIC}} →
  For more details on TOPIC, see Article1, Article2, and Article3.

Other uses of the same title ("For …, see …")

"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}} →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri aðra nýtslu, sí Cat main/doc (fleiri týdningar).
• {{About|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri aðra nýtslu, sí PAGE2.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{!}} magic word to give the link a different title) →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí 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) →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. Fyri USE4, sí PAGE4. Fyri USE5, sí PAGE5.
• {{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) →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. Fyri other uses, sí Cat main/doc (fleiri týdningar).
• {{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) →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. Fyri other uses, sí PAGE4.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. Fyri other uses, sí PAGE4 and Cat main/doc (fleiri týdningar).
• {{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) →
  Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. Fyri other uses, sí Cat main/doc (fleiri týdningar).
• {{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
  Fyri aðra nýtslu, sí PAGE1.

Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.

• {{About|USE1|section=yes}} →
  Henda section er um USE1. Fyri aðra nýtslu, sí Cat main/doc (fleiri týdningar).

Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".

"This page is about … It is not to be confused with …"

{{About-distinguish}} is a template for noting other uses when there could be confusion with another topic.

• {{About-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}} →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Tað er ikki tað sama sum PAGE1.
• {{About-distinguish2|USE1|TEXT}} →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Tað er ikki tað sama sum TEXT.
• {{About-distinguish-custom|USE1|TEXT}} →
  Henda síða er um USE1. 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}} →
  Fyri OTHER TOPIC, sí Cat main/doc (Fleiri týdningar).
• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
  Fyri OTHER TOPIC, sí PAGE1.
• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
  Fyri OTHER TOPIC, sí PAGE1 og PAGE2.
• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →
  Fyri OTHER TOPIC, sí PAGE1, PAGE2, og PAGE3.
• {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
  Fyri aðrar týdningar, sí PAGE1 og PAGE2.

Variations

As with {{Other uses}}, there is a whole family of "for" templates. {{For2}} allows custom text, such as quotation marks or a link from part of the "CUSTOM TEXT"

• {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
  Fyri OTHER TOPIC, sí CUSTOM TEXT.

"For other uses, see …"

When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.

• {{Other uses}} →
  Fyri aðra nýtslu, sí Cat main/doc (disambiguation).
• {{Other uses|PAGE1}} →
  Fyri aðra nýtslu, sí PAGE1.
• {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
  Fyri aðra nýtslu, sí 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.

• {{Other uses2|PAGE1}} →
  Fyri aðra nýtslu, sí PAGE1 (fleiri týdningar).

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}} →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For other uses, see Cat 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}} →
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3.
• {{Two other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →
  Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3.
• {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}
  Henda síða er um USE1. Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. Fyri other uses, sí Cat main/doc (fleiri týdningar).
• {{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →
  Fyri USE2, sí PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. Fyri other uses, sí Cat main/doc (fleiri týdningar).
• {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}} →

Categories

Category-specific templates:

• {{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} → Fyrimynd:Category see also

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.

• {{Cat main|MAIN ARTICLE}} →
  The main article for this category is MAIN ARTICLE.
• {{Category explanation|colourless green ideas}} → Fyrimynd:Category explanation
• {{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}} → Fyrimynd:Category pair

Notes

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
