Teamplaid:Hatnote/documentation

This template produces formatted text, following the guideline for a Wikipedia Hatnote.

{{Hatnote|Example Hatnote text.}} →

Example Hatnote text.

Broadly speaking, a Hatnote should answer a readers' question (maybe preemptively): Am I on the right page?

Foincsean - Function

This template is primarily used to add a correctly formatted Hatnote to a page. Often, but not always, this is a disambiguation link at the top of article pages. It places an HTML div- / div block around the text entered as its only argument, which provides standardized formatting (contents are indented and italicized in most displays); it also isolates the contained code to make sure that it is interpreted correctly.

This template is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see Roinn-seòrsa:Hatnote templates for a list.

The template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting must be explicitly added, using normal Wikipedia markup.

Ùsaid - Usage

Basic usage

{{Hatnote|text}}

All parameters

{{Hatnote|text|extraclasses=extra classes|selfref=yes|category=no}}

Paramadairean - Parameters

This template accepts the following parameters:

• 1 - the Hatnote text (required)
• extraclasses - any extra CSS classes to be added - For example, the {{see also}} template adds the classes "|extraclasses=boilerplate seealso".
• selfref - If set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references to Wikipedia. See Template:Selfref for more information.
• category - If set to "no", "n", "false", or "0", suppresses the error tracking category (Roinn-seòrsa:Hatnote templates with errors). This has an effect only if the leftmost parameter (the Hatnote text) is omitted.

Mearachdan - Errors

If no Hatnote text is supplied, the template will output the following message:

If you see this error message, it is for one of four reasons:

1. No parameters were specified (the template code was {{Hatnote}}). Please use {{Hatnote|text}} instead.
2. Some parameters were specified, but the Hatnote text wasn't included. For example, the template text {{Hatnote|extraclasses=seealso}} will produce this error. Please use (for example) {{Hatnote|text|extraclasses=seealso}} instead.
3. The Hatnote text was specified, but that text contains an equals sign ("="). The equals sign has a special meaning in template code, and because of this it cannot be used in template parameters that do not specify a parameter name. For example, the template code {{Hatnote|2+2=4}} will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using 1= before the Hatnote text, like this: {{Hatnote|1=2+2=4}}.
4. You tried to access Mòideal:Hatnote directly by using {{#invoke:Hatnote|Hatnote|text}}. Use of #invoke in this way has been disabled for performance reasons. Please use {{Hatnote|text}} instead.

If you see this error message and are unsure of what to do, please post a message on Template talk:Hatnote, and someone should be able to help you.

Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Roinn-seòrsa:Hatnote templates with errors.
