Template:Hatnote inline/doc

{{for|the template to make multiple hatnotes appear on the same line|Template:Hatnote group}}
{{high use}}
{{Warning|1=This is a meta-template for development of additional, more specific templates. If you intend to use the template inline in articles or other pages, use {{tlx|crossreference}} (shortcuts are {{tlx|crossref}} and {{tlx|xref}}) or other specific templates based on this metatemplate, e.g. {{tlx|see above}} and {{tlx|see below}}.}}
{{lua|Module:Hatnote inline}}

The {{tl|Hatnote inline}} meta-template formats text into a standardized style for an inline (not block-level) variant of a [[Wikipedia:Hatnote]], a short note placed at the point of insertion, to link to more information or otherwise cross-reference another Wikipedia page. like this: {{hatnote inline|Example inline hatnote text.}} 

The most common uses for this meta-template are:
* Inline "''(See also ...)''"-type parenthetical [[MOS:CROSSREF|Wikipedia crossreferences]] to other Wikipedia pages, provided by the {{tlx|crossreference}} template and its progeny. These are [[WP:SELFREF|unprintworthy Wikipedia self-references]].
* Hatnotes inside definitions in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Glossaries|template-formatted glossaries]], provided by the {{tlx|ghat}} template. These are printworthy, as they refer to content on the same page.

== Usage ==

; Basic usage:
{{tlx|hatnote inline|{{var|text}}}}

; All parameters:
{{tlx|hatnote inline|{{var|text}}|extraclasses{{=}}{{var|class1 class2}}|selfref{{=}}yes|category{{=}}no}}

The meta-template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting must be explicitly added, using normal [[Wikipedia:Cheatsheet|Wikipedia markup]].

== Parameters ==

This template accepts the following parameters:
* {{para|1}} or {{para|text}} or {{para|content}} – The inline hatnote's text (required). While the explicit naming of this parameter with {{para|1}}, {{para|text}}, or {{para|content}} is not required, it is always safest to use it this way, since any {{kbd|{{=}}}} character in the input text will break the template if the parameter is unnamed.
* {{para|class}} or {{para|extraclasses}} – Any extra CSS classes to be added. This should not normally be used.
* {{para|selfref|no}} – If set to {{kbd|no}} (or {{kbd|n}}, {{kbd|false}}, {{kbd|0}}, etc.) removes the default CSS class <code>selfref</code>, used to denote unprintworthy self-references to Wikipedia {{crossref|(see [[Template:Selfref]] for more information)}}. This option should not be used to indicate a non-selfref on cross-article links, only links within the same article (and the derived shorthand templates {{tlx|See above}} and {{tlx|See below}} do this automatically). The parameter alias {{para|printworthy|yes}} (or with any other value, like {{kbd|y}}, {{kbd|true}}, {{kbd|1}}, etc.) has the same effect as {{para|selfref|no}}. Note that attempting to manually supply a "this is a selfref" value with {{para|selfref|yes}} or {{para|printworthy|no}} will not have the desired effect (which is the default anyway); {{em|the meta-template is set to selfref by default}}, since most uses are self-references (only those within the same article as the template are not). This could actually be fixed by use of {{tlx|YesNo}}, but it's maybe more hassle than it's worth.
* {{para|category}} – If set to {{kbd|no}} (or {{kbd|n}}, {{kbd|false}}, {{kbd|0}}, etc.), suppresses the error-tracking category ([[:Category:Hatnote templates with errors]]). This only has an effect if the first positional parameter (the hatnote text) is omitted. This should not normally be used.
* {{para|inline}} – Defaults to {{kbd|yes}}; you never need to set that. If set to {{kbd|no}} (or {{kbd|n}}, {{kbd|false}}, {{kbd|0}}, etc.), it is a special-use parameter, which turns off the conversion of the Hatnote module code's {{tag|div|o}} into a {{tag|span|o}}, so it becomes a {{tag|div|o}} again. By default, this will simply produce the same output as {{tlx|Hatnote}}. The only use for this is when a template using {{tlx|Hatnote inline}} as its meta-template (e.g. {{tlx|Crossreference}} has [[WP:TemplateStyles]] and a custom class that do something different with it in block mode than would happen if it were a regular hatnote (e.g., by removing the hatnote indentation). So, obviously this is not normally used, and it requires setup to use it to do anything practical.

== Technical details ==

The meta-template places an HTML {{tag|span}} container around the text entered as its first, required parameter, upon which it provides standardized formatting (italicized in most displays, and only stylistically, not as semantic emphasis); it also uses CSS classes to isolate the contained code to make sure that it is interpreted correctly and can be acted upon independently of true article content.

The HTML code produced by this template looks like this:

* <code><nowiki><span class="hatnote"></nowiki>{{var|hatnote text}}<nowiki></span></nowiki></code>

This is the same class used by the {{tag|div|o}}-based {{tlx|hatnote}} template, the block display of which is controlled by a separate <code>div.hatnote</code> directive in [[Mediawiki:Common.css]].

The output is produced by [[Module:Hatnote inline]].

== See also ==
* [[Template:Hatnote templates documentation]], for all the block-format hatnotes

=== Templates based on this meta-template ===
* {{tl|Crossreference}} (a.k.a. {{tl|Crossref}}, {{tl|Xref}}) – Template for inline crossreferences to (usually) other Wikipedia pages (unprintworthy in most cases)
* {{tl|Ghat}} – Hatnote template for use in [[MOS:GLOSSARIES|template-structured glossaries]] (printworthy)
* {{tl|See above}} and {{tl|See below}} – some more specific templates than {{tl|Crossreference}} for use on same page only (printworthy)

{{documentation subpage}}
{{Lua|Module:About-distinguish}}
{{Uses Wikidata|P21|P31}}
==="''This page is about … and is not to be confused with …''"===
{{tlx|About-distinguish}} is a template for noting other uses when there could be confusion with another topic.

* {{tlx|about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}} → {{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}}
* {{tlx|about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → {{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1|PAGE2}}
* {{tlx|about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1<nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>DISPLAY-TEXT|PAGE2#SECTION|PAGE3}} → {{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1{{!}}DISPLAY-TEXT|PAGE2#SECTION|PAGE3}}

For cases requiring custom text, use {{tl|about-distinguish-text}} instead:
* {{tlx|about-distinguish-text|USE1|TEXT}} → {{about-distinguish-text|USE1|TEXT}}

If the page's Wikidata item has the property of being an instance of "human", then the template will try to replace "It" in "It is not to be confused with" with a more appropriate pronoun, based on the value of the "sex or gender" property of the item.

Template:List entry too long/doc

2025-07-28T23:48:53Z

2600:1700:6180:6290:2924:FFCE:5881:AF75:

{{Documentation subpage}}

== Usage ==
This is an inline template to put at the {{em|end}} of a [[Wikipedia:Stand-alone list|stand-alone]] or [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Embedded lists|embedded]] list entry that is excessively long, either because material needs to [[Wikipedia:Merge|merge]] or [[Wikipedia:Split|split]] to another article, or because it includes [[WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE|indiscriminate trivia]].

{{strong|Do not put this on its own line}}, or you will break the list formatting. Just add it to the end of the content in question, on the same line, as with any other inline cleanup template.

===Parameters===
{{para|date}} – Month and year of the tagging, e.g. {{para|date|January 2018}}. You can also do <code><nowiki>|{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki></code> to have the system fill it in for you.

{{para|reason}} – An annotation if you think one is needed. This is not displayed (either in the main text or as a tooltip; it's just an in-the-wikicode note. Typical uses might be suggesting a merge target or trivia to remove.

{{Selfref|This template is a [[WP:Self reference]]}}
{{Template notes
|This maintenance templates is intended to attract editors with different viewpoints to edit articles that need additional insight.
|This tag should only be applied to articles where global [[Perspective (cognitive)|perspectives]] are reasonably believed to exist (e.g., that people in China have a different view about an idea or situation than people in Germany or South Africa).
|If additional reliable sources for a worldwide view cannot be found after a reasonable search, this tag may be removed.
|This tag should not be used as a [[badge of shame]] or to complain about [[WP:ENGVAR|how to spell words]], which measurement units to use, and similar questions of article presentation.
|Please explain your concerns on the article's talk page and '''link to the section title of the discussion you initiate'''. Otherwise, other editors may remove this tag without further notice.
}}

==Usage==
Place this template following a section or statement which doesn't represent a global perspective. You should include the date in the format {{para|date | {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}. You may also include a region which is overrepresented using the first unnamed parameter. This changes the template text from {{Globalize inline}} to Region-centric (Example: {{Globalize inline|USA}}, {{Globalize inline|France}}) and categorizes the page accordingly if the region has its own category.

{{Tlx|Globalize inline|<var>region</var>|date{{=}}<var>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</var>}}

or:

{{Tlx|Globalise inline|<var>region</var>|date{{=}}<var>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</var>}}

Please also explain your concerns at the talk page to make it easier for other editors to fix it.

This tag is used on a link that needs to be improved because it goes to a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation page]]. The tag is intended to be used only when an editor has tried to fix the link but has not succeeded. Most links to disambiguation pages do not need this tag. The tag links to an explanation of how to fix disambiguation links at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Fixing links]].

The tag automatically places the article into [[:Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation]]. Do not manually add articles to that category.

A date should be added, and will automatically place the article into a monthly subcategory of the above mentioned category. If a date is not added, a [[WP:Bots|bot]] will do so later.

==Usage==
<code><nowiki>[[Article]]{{Disambiguation needed|</nowiki>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code> renders:

== Usage ==
Use this tag when a portion of text in a Wikipedia article does not adequately specify "for whom" a particular thing applies. First use of this tag was in the article on [[decomposition]] which stated (on July 23, 2017) that, "Shortly after death, within three to six hours, the muscular tissues become rigid..." This is not true for deep sea dwelling molluscs, or for spiders, or for most bacteria, and should not have been written so broadly as though only mammals (or only humans) were relevant. Editors are encouraged to rewrite this portion of text so that it accurately reflects "for whom" the particular attribute applies.

{{not to be confused with|Template:Dablink}}

== Usage ==
* For pages that link to a large number of disambiguation pages (at least 7, the threshold as of September 2015), place {{tlx|Dablinks|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} at the top of the main page to alert readers.
* In some circumstances, it may be useful to add a new topic to the talk page explaining the type and extent of cleanup required so that editors will know what to address and when to remove this tag.

=== Parameters ===

Dablinks has up to ten optional, [[WP:UNNAMED|unnamed parameters]] that may be used to indicate the links in the article which need attention. Example:

{{tlx|Dablinks|John Smith|John Brown|Mary Jones}}

This will provide a bulletized list of these links, along with brief instructions in the Dablinks output in a default-collapsed section. Click [show] to view the list. Output for this example:

<div style="font-size:90%; width:94%">{{Dablinks|John Smith|John Brown|Mary Jones}}</div>

The optional links are displayed when the template is expanded. You may enter more than ten if desired, but only the first ten will be displayed.

== Notes ==
* This template will add tagged articles to [[:Category:Pages with excessive dablinks]], or a dated subcategory thereof.
* This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]].
* Please do not [[Wikipedia:Subst|subst:]] this template.
