{{About}} is a commonly used hatnote template on Wikipedia, and should be placed at the top of an article, linking the reader to other articles with similar titles or concepts that they may have been seeking instead. The template has several formats, including:

  • {{About|USE1}}
    This page is about USE1. For other uses, see About (disambiguation).
  • {{About|USE1||PAGE2}}
    This page is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2 and PAGE3.

Alternately, a section=yes parameter can be added to the {{About}} template for use at the top of a section. When using this parameter, the wording in the template changes to specify that it is being used in a section:

  • {{About|USE1|section=yes}}
    This section is about USE1. For other uses, see About (disambiguation).
  • {{About|USE1|PAGE2|section=yes}}
    This section is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|section=yes}}
    This section is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3|section=yes}}
    This section is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2 and PAGE3.

For more options, find "{{About}}" in the text below.
