Template:See above/doc

{{See above}} and {{See below}} are simple wrappers for {{crossreference|selfref=no|text=...}}.

The output is a parenthetical fragment, intended mostly for use in the middle of or at the end of a sentence, e.g. "In the Elbonian Uprising (see below), Addamasartus was used as the rebels' base of operations."

For more complex custom cross-references, use {{Crossreference}} directly. But please read WP:SELFREF, and avoid "talking at" the reader (Bad idea: For a fuller treatment of the Elbonian Uprising and its consequences, more information is provided at our article ...). Wikipedia is not a classroom.

For cross-references between articles, use {{See also}} or another in that family of hatnote templates.
