Template:Hatnote
Template documentation
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Hatnote.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
Usage
Using {{Hatnote|text}} formats text into the standard stylistic for a hatnote. That produces a short note placed at the top of an article to provide disambiguation of closely related terms or summarise a topic, explaining its boundaries.
Usage and purpose
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 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.
