(see below)
{{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, e.g. "In the Elbonian Uprising (seebelow), Addamasartus was used as the rebels' base of operations."
For more complex custom cross-references, use{{Crossreference}} directly. But please readWP:SELFREF, and avoid "talking at" the reader (Bad idea:For a fuller treatment of the Elbonian Uprising and its consequences, more information is provided at our article ...).Wikipedia is not a classroom.
For cross-references between articles, use{{See also}} or another in that family of hatnote templates.
The templates will format a "(see above)" or a "(see below)" or a custom message into a standardized style for aninline (not block-level) cross-reference to other contentin the same article.
They are notWikipedia 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 byModule: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: (seebelow)
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:(see1992 statistics graph)
|text= AKA|content= AKA first unnamed parameter – the text to use between "(see" and ")".
