Jump to navigation Jump to search

Hatnotes are short notes placed at the very top of an article or a section, like a hat is placed on the very top of a head. (See the note in italics immediately preceding the boxes above.) Their purpose is to help readers locate a different article if the one they are at is not the one they're looking for. Readers may have arrived at the article containing the hatnote because:

  • They were redirected.
  • They may be seeking an article that uses a more specific, disambiguated title.
  • They may be seeking an article with a similar name to, or that otherwise might be confused with, the article with the hatnote.
  • Hatnotes provide links to the possibly sought article or to a disambiguation page.
