Usage

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).

With one parameter (rare)

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).

This kind of usage with exactly one parameter is rare, as in most instances

{{Other uses}} (and in this case,

{{About}} with the same result) can be used more easily, and without any parameter. But it makes sense in some cases for disambiguation pages with the same type of other meanings, e.g. in Treaty of Lisbon:

For earlier treaties known as Treaty of Lisbon, see Treaty of Lisbon (disambiguation).

However, for many such cases specific new templates have been implemented, like

{{Other people}},

{{Other places}} etc. - see hatnote template overview box below.

With two parameters

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.

With more parameters

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}}.
