- For other uses, see Specify (Disambiguation).
Purpose
This hatnote is used to specify the content of the article or contrast it with a similar article.
Usage
{{Specify| this= | other= | link= }}
- this — A very brief description of the article on which this template is placed. (Optional.)
- other — A very brief description of the article to which this template links. (Optional. Default: "other uses")
- link — A link to the contrasted article. (Optional. Default: disambiguation page)
If there are several related titles, but one stands out as a secondary article, use second and secondlink instead of other and link.
{{Specify| this= | second= | secondlink= }}
- second — A very brief description of the secondary article.
- secondlink — A link to the secondary article.
For the rare case of having both secondary and tertiary articles as well as others, "third" and "thirdlink" are also available. These should be used sparingly and should generally not be used if the hatnote extends too far over one line.
