Description

This template should be used when the need arises to provide a link to a similar or related topic. This is also to help prevent confusion when articles have similar names by providing a manual re-direct link.

Usage

Note: The examples below show each parameter separated by a line break for demonstration purposes only. For use in articles, please separate parameters with only a vertical bar (|).

Parameter	Code	Output
1	When one unnamed parameter is passed, the template will provide a link to the page defined; preceded by the text: "For more information,".
1	{{for \|St. Crispian's }}	For more information, see St. Crispian's.
2	When a second unnamed parameter is passed, it will replace the text "more information" in the output.
2	{{for \|St. Crispian's \|details on Whereabouts Lane }}	For details on Whereabouts Lane, see St. Crispian's.
3	When a third unnamed parameter is passed, it will replace the linked text.
3	{{for \|St. Crispian's#History \|the history of St. Crispian's \|History}}	For the history of St. Crispian's, see History.
`pre=`	When the named parameter `pre=TEXT` is passed, additional text is added at the beginning of the output.
`pre=`	{{for \|Lapis Lazuli#Lapis Lazuli Minor \|more on Lapis Lazuli Minor \|here \|pre=This page is on Lapis Lazuli House}}	This page is on Lapis Lazuli House. For more on Lapis Lazuli Minor, see here.

+== Description ==
+This template should be used when the need arises to provide a link to a similar or related topic. This is also to help prevent confusion when articles have similar names by providing a manual re-direct link.
-Use this template when you have a ''similar'' topic that should be prominently linked to another article, either for more information or to avoid confusion between similarly-named articles.

-It generally takes one unnamed parameter, <code>{{{1}}}</code>, as input. By default, it returns "For more information, see <code>{{{1}}}</code>", where <code>{{{1}}}</code> is a link to the referenced article. A second unnamed parameter will replace "more information" and a third will replace the text which refers to the linked article. For example, <code><nowiki>{{for|St._Crispian's|oodles of information|this page about the cosmere}}</nowiki></code> produces:
+== Articles Using Template ==
-: {{for|St. Crispian's|oodles of information|this page about the cosmere}}
+<div class="navigation">This list is limited to 100 articles. For a full listing see [[Special: WhatLinksHere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|here]].</div>
+{{Special:WhatLinksHere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|namespace=0|limit=100}}
-The template is intended to be brief, but additional optional parameters <code>|pre=</code> and <code>|post=</code> allow you to add additional explanatory text at the beginning or end of the displayed text, if necessary. For example, <code><nowiki>{{for|Wulfden the First|the first Wyrn named Wulfden|pre='Wulfden' redirects here}}</nowiki></code> produces:
-: {{for|Wulfden the First|the first Wyrn named Wulfden|pre='Wulfden' redirects here}}
