{{SPW|is not on|name=See also}}
{{documentation subpage}}
{{lua|Module:See also}}

This template is used to create [[WP:Hatnotes|hatnotes]] to point to a small number of other, related, titles at the '''top''' of [[Help:Section|article sections]] according to [[Wikipedia:Layout]]. It looks like this:

{{see also|Article}}

It is not for use in the "See also" ''section'' at the end of an article, or links to other articles or subsections in the article text. Where subsections are linked to, [[Template:Section link]] may be suitable instead.

== 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 ==

* <code>1</code>, <code>2</code>, <code>3</code>, ... - the pages to link to. At least one page name is required. Categories and files are automatically escaped with the [[Help:Colon trick|colon trick]], and links to sections are automatically formatted as ''page § section'', rather than the MediaWiki default of ''page#section''.
* <code>label 1</code>, <code>label 2</code>, <code>label 3</code>, ...; or <code>l1</code>, <code>l2</code>, <code>l3</code>, ...; optional labels for each of the pages to link to.
* <code>selfref</code> - 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.
* <code>category</code> - 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.

== Examples ==

* <code><nowiki>{{see also|Article}}</nowiki></code> → {{see also|Article}}
* <code><nowiki>{{see also|Article#Section}}</nowiki></code> → {{see also|Article#Section}}
* <code><nowiki>{{see also|Article#Section|label 1=Custom section label}}</nowiki></code> → {{see also|Article#Section|label 1=Custom section label}}
* <code><nowiki>{{see also|Article1|Article2|Article3}}</nowiki></code> → {{see also|Article1|Article2|Article3}}
* <code><nowiki>{{see also|Article1|l1=Custom label 1|Article2|l2=Custom label 2}}</nowiki></code> → {{see also|Article1|l1=Custom label 1|Article2|l2=Custom label 2}}

== Errors ==

If no page names are supplied, the template will output the following message:
* {{see also|category=no}}

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

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

Pages that contain this error message are tracked in [[:Category:Hatnote templates with errors]].
