- All parameters
{{See also|page1|page2|page3| ...
|label 1 = label 1|label 2 = label2|label 3 = label3| ...
|l1 = label1|l2 = label2|l3 = label3| ...
|selfref = yes|category = no}}
Parameters
This template accepts the following parameters:
|1=,|2=,|3=, ... – the pages to link to. At least one page name is 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.|label 1=,|label 2=,|label 3=, ...; or|l1=,|l2=,|l3=, ...; optional labels for each of the pages to link to.|selfref=– if set toyes,y,true, or1, adds the CSS classselfref. This is used to denote self-references to Wikivoyage.|category=– if set tono,n,false, or0, 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
{{See also|Destination}}→{{See also|Destination#Section}}→{{See also|Destination#Section|label 1=Custom section label}}→{{See also|Asia|Australia|Europe}}→{{See also|Asia|l1=Custom label 1|Australia|l2=Custom label 2}}→
Errors
If no page names are supplied, the template outputs the following message with the (help) wikilink pointing to the "Errors" section of this page:
- Error: no page names specified (help).
If you see this error message, it is for one of three reasons:
- No parameters were specified (the template code was
{{See also}}with no pipe character nor page to link to). Please use{{See also|page}}instead. - Some parameters were specified, but no page names were included. For example, the template text
{{See also|selfref=yes}}will produce this error. Please use (for example){{See also|page|selfref=yes}}instead. - A 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
{{See also|1+1=2|2+2=4}}will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using1=,2, etc., before the page name, like this:{{See also|1=1+1=2|2=2+2=4}}.
