== 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)]] 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]].

*[[Wikipedia:Self-references to avoid]]
 
*{{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).
