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, {{{1}}}, as input. By default, it returns "For more information, see {{{1}}}", where {{{1}}} 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, {{for|St. Crispian's|more on Whereabouts Lane|this St. Crispian's}} produces:

The template is intended to be brief, but additional optional parameters |pre= and |post= allow you to add additional explanatory text at the beginning or end of the displayed text, if necessary. For example, {{for|Emma M. Lion#Family|Emma M. Lion the first|pre="Emma M. Lion" redirects here}} produces:
