![]() | This template uses Lua: |
This template produces a hatnote:
- Script error: No such module "Template link general". → "Foo" redirects here. For other uses, see Foo (disambiguation).
Its purpose is to reduce confusion by helping users get to their intended page if they were redirected to another page while, for example, searching for a topic. An example would be when a user searches for the emperor Achilleus. However, the search term "Achilleus" redirects to the page titled Achilles (as in the mythical hero) because it is considered more likely the user were searching for the very well known hero than a relatively obscure emperor. Now, at the top of this Achilles page you will (among other things) find the following hatnote:
- "Achilleus" redirects here. For the Roman emperor with this name, see Achilleus (Roman usurper).
That text is this template in action.
Parameters
![]() | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. |

option adds text to the end; note that this should be only used when truly necessary, and the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice.
