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

Alternately, a  parameter can be added to the  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:

A text option adds text to the end; this should only be used when truly necessary, when the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice. This template supports selfref (see self reference and MOS:SELFREF for details).

For more options, find "" in the text below.

For reference, see hatnote and documentation below.
