This template produces formatted text, following the guideline for a hatnote.
{{hatnote|Example hatnote text.}}→
Broadly speaking, a hatnote should answer a readers' question (maybe preemptively): Am I on the right page?
Function
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 div- / div 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.
The template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting must be explicitly added, using normal wiki markup.

{{hatnote|text}}
