Templates: Hatnotes

 * generally: WP:HN
 * section hatnotes for split-out of related articles:
 * : pointing to the main article on a topic, of which this section is a summary
 * : for further detail on a narrower topic
 * : for broader coverage of the topic, but not a main article
 * : related topics at roughly the same level of focus

Templates: Cites & Refs


Check for extra params if translating/using non-English sources.

Named refs
Use a normal cite for the first occurrence, with the name attribute added to the ref tag. Then use an empty ref tag for subsequent calls:

Interlanguage links
Easiest way is to use the template, which shows up as a redlink if the current language version doesn't exist, and a blue link if it does.
