The '''About''' template creates a disambiguation hatnote. It is used at the beginning of a page when the name of a [[Wikipedia:WP:Primary topic|primary topic]] conflicts with one or more other topics. It can also be used when two or more topics have similar names and meanings, and the distinction between the names and/or the meanings is not obvious enough to use [[Template:Distinguish]].

== Usage ==
== Documentation ==
This implementation supports three optional parameters.
{{/doc}}
; <code>1=</code>
: Description of the primary topic ("This page is about …"). It may be left blank if the signification of the primary topic is obvious.
 
; <code>2=</code>
: What the other page is about ("For ..."). If unused or blank, defaults to "For other uses".
 
; <code>3=</code>
: The title of the first other page ("see ..."). If unused, defaults to "<nowiki>[[page title]]</nowiki> (disambiguation)".
