== Usage ==


{{En-WP attribution notice|Template:Selfref}}
<nowiki>{{selfref}}</nowiki> is a template that is used to mark pieces of text and links that wouldn't make sense on mirrors of Wikipedia: see [[Wikipedia:Self-references to avoid]].

In most cases, <nowiki>{{selfref}}</nowiki> is used to create a disambiguation link to a page in the Wikipedia: namespace from article space; for instance, [[Objectivity (journalism)]] has a selfref link '<nowiki>{{selfref|For Wikipedia's policy on avoiding bias, see [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]].}}</nowiki>'. When using <nowiki>{{selfref}}</nowiki> in this way, use the following format:
<pre>
{{selfref|the self-referential notice to display, including links}}
</pre>
If the text of the notice contains any = characters, you have to escape it like this:
<pre>
{{selfref|1=the self-referential notice to display, including links}}
</pre>
(This is needed with all templates, not just <nowiki>{{selfref}}</nowiki>.) When using <nowiki>{{selfref}}</nowiki> in this way, the text will be indented slightly and put in italics.

<nowiki>{{selfref}}</nowiki> can also be used for any other text which shouldn't appear in mirrors (the mirrors can remove it by blanking <nowiki>{{selfref}}</nowiki> in their copy, although not all of them do), without reformatting; to use it like this, place an extra vertical bar at the end of the template inclusion, like this:
<pre>
{{selfref|the self-referential text to display without reformatting|}}
</pre>

This template should not be [[WP:SUBST|substituted]].

== See also ==

*[[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references]]
*{{tl|srlink}}, for the opposite case when you want a link to the Wikipedia: namespace that ''does'' show in mirrors without breaking (for instance when writing an article about Wikipedia or something connected to it).
