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

This template is used to make summary style explicit. It looks like this:

For broader coverage of this topic, see Article.

It is used in sections for which there is also a separate article on the subject. It should be used when there should be a link to another article that discusses a subject more broadly, but is not a main article (which should use {{Main}}), a narrower topic (which should probably use {{Further}}), or at the same level of focus (which should probably use {{See also}}).

Usage

Further information: WP:SUMMARYHATNOTE

Basic usage

{{Broader|article}}

With a topic

{{Broader|article|topic=topic}}

With more than one target page

{{Broader|article1|article2|article3|topic=topic}}

All parameters

{{Broader|article|topic=topic|selfref=yes|category=no}}

Parameters

This template accepts the following parameters:

• 1 - the page to link to (required). Categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.
• 2 (and greater numbers) - any additional pages to link to. These links are also automatically formatted as with the first parameter.
• topic - the name of the topic. If this is not specified, the text "this topic" is used.
• selfref - if set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references to Wikipedia. See Template:Self ref for more information.
• category - if set to "no", "n", "false", or "0", suppresses the error tracking category (Category:Hatnote templates with errors). This only has an effect if the first positional parameter (the page to link to) is omitted.

Examples

• {{Broader|Article}} →
  For broader coverage of this topic, see Article.
• {{Broader|Article|topic=some topic}} →
  For broader coverage of some topic, see Article.

Errors

If no page name is supplied, the template will output the following message:

If you see this error message, it is for one of four reasons:

1. No parameters were specified (the template code was {{Broader}}). Please use {{Broader|page}} instead.
2. Some parameters were specified, but the page name wasn't included. For example, the template text {{Broader|selfref=yes}} will produce this error. Please use (for example) {{Broader|page|selfref=yes}} instead.
3. The page name was specified, but it contains an equals sign ("="). The equals sign has a special meaning in template code, and because of this it cannot be used in template parameters that do not specify a parameter name. For example, the template code {{Broader|2+2=4}} will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explictly by using 1= before the page name (like this: {{Broader|1=2+2=4}}) or you can disable the equals being interpreted as delimiting a parameter name by surrounding the equals with double braces (like this: {{Broader|2+2{{=}}4}}).

If you see this error message and are unsure of what to do, please post a message on the help desk, and someone should be able to help you.

Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Category:Hatnote templates with errors.
