Template:See below

(see below)

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{See above}} and {{See below}} are simple wrappers for {{crossreference|selfref=no|text=...}}.

The output is a parenthetical fragment, intended mostly for use in the middle of or at the end of a sentence.

For more complex custom cross-references, use {{Crossreference}} directly. But please avoid "talking at" the reader.

For cross-references between articles, use {{See also}} or another in that family of hatnote templates.

Usage

The templates will format a "(see above)" or a "(see below)" or a custom message into a standardized style for an inline (not block-level) cross-reference to other content in the same article.

They are not self-references, to other pages, but self-references to the content at hand on the same page, and are thus printworthy. Their output is ultimately generated by Module:Hatnote inline.

Default: {{See above}} and {{See below}}

produce:

(see above) and

(see below), respectively (which are usually not very helpful).

Basic usage with parameter: {{See below|Radical Whigs}}

produces:

(see Radical Whigs)

Linked: {{See below|[[#Radical Whigs|below]]}}

produces:

(see below)

Custom usage: {{See below|{{section link||Radical Whigs}}, below}}

produces:

(see § Radical Whigs, below)

Another example, going to an anchor at an image: {{See above|[[#chart1992|1992 statistics graph]]}}

produces:

(see 1992 statistics graph)

Parameters

• |text= AKA |content= AKA first unnamed parameter – the text to use between "(see " and ")".
