This template is imported from the English Wikipedia. Although the visual appearance might be different, the functionality is identical. Please refer to the Module:Hatnote list page on Wikipedia for detailed documentation.

Module:Hatnote list produces and formats lists for use in hatnotes. In particular, it implements the for-see list, i.e. lists of "For X, see Y" statements, as used in {{about}}, {{redirect}}, and their variants. Also introduced are andList & orList helpers for formatting lists with those conjunctions.
