Use hatnotes to distinguish similarly named subjects and guide readers to related articles. Put article-specific information in the article rather than in a generic notice.

== Local templates ==
'''The following templates should be substituted''' because they merely provide convenient ways to produce standard common phrases in running text (not, e.g., hatnotes or message boxes).
Open a template page for its parameters and examples. These links identify existing local templates; their inclusion does not certify every imported behaviour.
