{{About}} is a commonly used "Wikipedia logo"hatnote template on Wikipedia, and should be "Wikipedia logo"placed at the top of an article (but following {{Short description}}, 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 section=yes parameter can be added to the {{About}} 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:

  • {{About|Use1|section=yes}}
    This section is about Use1. For other uses, see About (disambiguation).
  • {{About|Use1||Article2|section=yes}}
    This section is about Use1. For other uses, see Article2.
  • {{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|section=yes}}
    This section is about Use1. For Use2, see Article2.
  • {{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|and|Article3|section=yes}}
    This section is about Use1. For Use2, see Article2 and Article3.
  • {{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|other uses|section=yes}}
    This section is about Use1. For Use2, see Article2. For other uses, see About (disambiguation).

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 "{{About}}" in the text below.
