This is a documentation subpage for Template:See above. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
{{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 (
), 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.
