Template:See also

See also: Usage error: Template 'see also' must be given at least one ARTICLE Name(S)!

This template uses Lua:

Module:Labelled list hatnote

This template is used on 170,000+ pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template is used to create hatnotes to point to a small number of other related titles at the top of article sections according to Wikipedia:Layout. It looks like this:

See also: Article or

Template:Protected template Template loop detected: Template:See also/doc </noinclude>

Do not use this template inside the "See also" section at the end of an article, or for links to other articles or subsections of the same article within regular article text. Where subsections are linked to, Template:Section link may be suitable instead.

Refer to the examples below to see how the template handles link targets containing section links and commas.

Usage

Basic usage

{{See also|page1|page2|page3|...}}

All parameters

{{See also|page1|page2|page3| ...
|label 1 = label 1|label 2 = label2|label 3 = label3| ...
|l1 = label1|l2 = label2|l3 = label3| ...
|selfref = yes|category = no}}

Parameters

This template accepts the following parameters:

1, 2, 3, ... – the pages to link to. At least one page name is required. Categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.
label 1, label 2, label 3, ...; or l1, l2, l3, ...; optional labels for each of the pages to link to.
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 (Category:Hatnote templates with errors). This only has an effect if the first positional parameter (the page to link to) is omitted.

Errors

If no page names are supplied, the template will output the following message:

See also: Usage error: Template 'see also' must be given at least one ARTICLE Name(S)! or

Template:Protected template Template loop detected: Template:See also/doc </noinclude>

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

No parameters were specified (the template code was {{See also}}). Please use {{See also|page}} instead.
Some parameters were specified, but no page names were included. For example, the template text {{See also|selfref=yes}} will produce this error. Please use (for example) {{See also|page|selfref=yes}} instead.
A page name was specified, but it 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 {{See also|1+1=2|2+2=4}} will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using 1=, 2, etc., before the page name, like this: {{See also|1=1+1=2|2=2+2=4}}.
You tried to access Module:See also directly by using {{#invoke:See also|seealso|text}}. Use of #invoke in this way has been disabled for performance reasons. Please use {{See also|text}} instead.

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