Notes from a survey of the main group of hatnote templates

Template Type Based on Lua Implemented with Uses TEXT Supports selfref List type Rough usage count Notes
Template:About Core — Yes Module:About No No For-see, or TEXT 149k
Template:About-distinguish Compound ((about)) & ((distinguish)) Yes Module:About-distinguish No No Or 519
Template:About-distinguish-text Compound variant ((about-distinguish)) No ((hatnote)) Yes No TEXT 515 Forces TEXT for distinguish-list.
Template:About other people Compound ((about)) & ((other people)) Yes Module:About other people No No And 405 Successfully replaced ((other people3)), with a similar form but narrower scope and better syntax
Template:Broader Core — Yes Module:Broader No Yes And 752
Template:Distinguish Core — Yes Module:Distinguish No No Or, or TEXT 82k
Template:For Core — Yes Module:For No Yes And 173k Standalone for-see with and-list in the "see" part.
Template:For multi Variant ((for)) Yes Module:Hatnote list No No For-see 6k For-see list, filling niche of headless ((about)) more elegantly.
Template:For-text Variant ((for)) No ((hatnote)) Yes No For-see & TEXT 478 Forces TEXT for every "see" in for-see list. Seems inconsistent. Many uses fixed, some still can be replaced with ((for multi)).
Template:Further Core — Yes Module:Labelled list hatnote No Yes And 55k
Template:Further-text Variant ((further)) No ((hatnote)) Yes No And & TEXT 450 Similar to ((further)) but forces TEXT for each item (which is ugly). Bulk of (simple) uses simplified to ((further)), but more is possible.
Template:Main Core — Yes Module:Labelled list hatnote No Yes And 318k
Template:Main list Variant ((main)) Yes Module:Main list No No And 1374 Standalone for-see, like ((for)), with preset "for" part. Template title misleading given difference from ((main))? Might be better merged into ((main))?
Template:Other hurricanes Variant ((other uses)) and/or ((about)) No ((about)) No No — 321 ((about))-start followed by ((other uses)) list (supporting at most one item) with custom defaults and misordered parameters (((other hurricanes|OTHERUSES|ABOUT))). Check for consistency in "other" family; this one uses "of the same name".
Template:Other people Variant ((other uses)) Yes Module:Other people No No — 34k Behaviour similar to ((other uses)) with custom string, either "other people named X" or "other people with the same name" depending on parameterization.
Template:Other places Variant ((other uses)) Yes Module:Other uses No No And 22k Similar form to ((other uses)), but "other places with the same name"
Template:Other ships Variant ((other uses)) Yes Module:Other uses No No And 14k Similar form to ((other uses)) but "other ships with the same name".
Template:Other uses Core — Yes Module:Other uses No No And 63k
Template:Other uses of Variant ((other uses)) Yes Module:Other uses of No No — 1k Slightly different phrasing of "other uses" so that disambiguation link gets context. Phrase and target params, with defaulting for lack of each.
Template:Redirect Core — Yes Module:Redirect hatnote No Yes For-see, or TEXT 48k
Template:Redirect2 Variant ((redirect)) Yes Module:Redirect hatnote No Yes For-see 1k As ((redirect)) but with two redirect items
Template:Redirect-distinguish Compound ((redirect)) & ((distinguish)) Yes Module:Redirect-distinguish No No Or 3k One redirect parameter
Template:Redirect-distinguish-text Compound variant ((redirect-distinguish)) No ((hatnote)) Yes No TEXT 352 Like ((redirect-distinguish)) but forces TEXT for second parameter
Template:Redirect-distinguish-for Compound variant ((redirect-distinguish)) & ((for)) No ((hatnote)) No No ??? 38 Like ((redirect-distinguish)) followed by a ((for)) in the same hatnote. Crazypants.
Template:Redirect-multi Variant ((redirect)) Yes Module:Redirect-multi No Yes For-see 567 Provides support for hatnotes listing ≥3 redirects. Has special defaulting and redirect parameters are preceded by a number-of-redirects parameter.
Template:Redirect-several Variant ((redirect)) No ((hatnote)) No No And 131 Similar to ((redirect)) but uses a message about "several" redirects, then a for-see, forcing "other uses" and then an and-list. Few uses, but they're pretty solid.
Template:Redirect-synonym Variant ((redirect)) No ((hatnote)) Yes No TEXT 490 REDIRECT, plus "REDIRECT may also refer to TEXT".
Template:See also Core — Yes Module:Labelled list hatnote No Yes And 172k
Template:See also-text Variant ((see also)) No ((hatnote)) Yes No And & TEXT 668 Like ((see also)), but each item TEXT like ((further-text)).
Template:See introduction Variant ((for)) No ((For)) No No — 17 A standalone for-see but hardcoded "for" and specially-defaulted "see"; exactly one parameter.
Template:See Wiktionary Variant ((about)) No ((hatnote)) No No For-see? 150 Not unlike ((about)) but specifically for referring to Wiktionary.
Template:Similar names Variant ((other people)) Yes Module:Other uses No No Or 1867 Similar form to ((other people)) but "other people with similar names". Possibly a merge candidate?
Template:Year dab Variant ((about)) No ((hatnote)) No No For-see? 2k Basically same form as ((about)) but hard-coded for the special needs of year pages for referring to their "(number)" counterparts and associated disambiguation pages.
