== Usage ==

<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)]] could have 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>
or adding the word "inline" after a bar, like this:
<pre>
{{Selfref|the self-referential text to display without reformatting|inline}}
</pre>

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

== Example ==

{|
! Code !! Page on Wikipedia !! Page on some mirrors
|-
| <nowiki>{{Selfref|For the Wikipedia Sandbox, see [[WP:SAND]]}}</nowiki><br><br><nowiki>The Wikipedia Sandbox is a page on Wikipedia. {{Selfref|You can edit it by clicking "edit" on the page.|}} It has been edited many times.</nowiki>
| {{Selfref|For the Wikipedia Sandbox, see [[WP:SAND]]}}

The Wikipedia Sandbox is a page on Wikipedia. {{Selfref|You can edit it by clicking "edit" on the page.|}} It has been edited many times.
| The Wikipedia Sandbox is a page on Wikipedia. It has been edited many times.
|}
