Template:For

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

For the template to create a for loop, see Template:For loop.

This template yields a hatnote similar to {{Other uses}}, but allowing more flexible text with links to up to four articles or disambiguation pages. It accepts one to five parameters (zero is not allowed).

The first parameter sets the hatnote itself and should be plain text. Without any further parameter, it will link to a default disambiguation page for the article title, e.g. {{For|other entities}} yields on page Foo:

For other entities, see Foo (disambiguation).

The second parameter is used to change the resultant link, e.g. {{For|the acronym|FOO}} yields (wherever it is set, now independent of the article title):

For the acronym, see FOO.

The third, fourth and fifth parameters are used to give one, two, or three additional resultant links:

For similar terms, see Foobar and Bar.

For similar terms, see Foobar, Bar, and Baz.

For similar terms, see Foobar, Bar, Baz, and Quux.

the last being produced by e.g. {{For|similar terms|Foobar|Bar|Baz|Quux}}.
