==Usage==
<div class="dablink" style="font-style: italic; padding-left: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">{{{1|}}}</div><noinclude>
Using { { tlx | Hatnote | ' ' text ' ' } } formats text into the standard stylistic for a [[Wikipedia:Hatnote|Wikipedia hatnote]]. That produces a short note placed at the top of an article to provide disambiguation of closely related terms or summarise a topic, explaining its boundaries.
<!-- This should be temporary until Module:Hatnote is installed, which also gives {{Main:...}} and more. -->

==Usage and purpose==
</noinclude>
This template is primarily used to add a correctly formatted ''hatnote'' to a page. Often, but not always, this is a ''disambiguation link'' at the top of article pages. It places an HTML <code>div-</code> / <code>div</code> block around the text entered as its only argument, which provides standardized formatting (contents are indented and italicized in most displays); it also isolates the contained code to make sure that it is interpreted correctly.
 
This template is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see [[Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage)]] for a list.
 
The template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting must be explicitly added, using normal [[Wikipedia:Cheatsheet|Wikipedia markup]].
