All The Tropes:Creating Disambiguation Pages: Difference between revisions

Although [[All The Tropes:Style Guide#Hatnotes|All The Tropes does not use Wikipedia-style hatnotes]], we do sometimes incorporate similar linking to alternate page choices in the main text of an article, usually just before the trope or example list, in a form like "If you're looking for the video game of the same name, go [[:Category:Video Game|here]]" or the infamous "Not to be confused with". Be careful with the latter usage, though, because it is often employed [[I Thought It Meant|for humorous purposes]]. These are sometimes referred to as "beltnotes", because they are halfway between hatnotes and footnotes.

If you see a hatnote on All The Tropes, feel free to change it to a "If you're looking for..." commentbeltnote. Even if a mod added the hatnote. (The mod should know better.)
