{{tlx|See above}} and {{tlx|See below}} are simple wrappers for {{tlx|crossreference|selfref{{=}}no|text{{=}}...}}.

The output is a parenthetical fragment, intended mostly for use in the middle of or at the end of a sentence, e.g. "In the Elbonian Uprising {{see below|[[#Uprising|below]]}}, Addamasartus was used as the rebels' base of operations."

For more complex custom cross-references, use {{tlx|Crossreference}} directly.  But please read [[WP:SELFREF]], and avoid "talking at" the reader (Bad idea: {{!xt|For a fuller treatment of the Elbonian Uprising and its consequences, more information is provided at our article ...}}).  [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal|Wikipedia is not a classroom]].

For cross-references between articles, use {{tlx|See also}} or another in that family of hatnote templates.

== Usage ==

The templates will format a "(see above)" or a "(see below)" or a custom message into a standardized style for an {{em|inline}} (not block-level) cross-reference to other content {{em|in the same article}}.

They are not [[WP:SELFREF|Wikipedia self-references]], to other pages, but self-references to the content at hand on the same page, and are thus printworthy.  Their output is ultimately generated by [[Module:Hatnote inline]].

'''Default''': {{tlx|See above}} and {{tlx|See below}}

produce: {{See above}} and {{See below}}, respectively (which are usually not very helpful).

'''Basic usage with parameter''': {{tlx|See below|Radical Whigs}}

produces: {{See below|Radical Whigs}}

'''Linked:''' {{tlx|See below|<nowiki>[[#Radical Whigs|below]]</nowiki>}}

produces: {{See below|[[#Radical Whigs|below]]}}

'''Custom usage:''' {{tlx|See below|{{tlp|section link||Radical Whigs}}, below}}

produces: {{See below|{{section link||Radical Whigs}}, below}}

'''Another example, going to an anchor at an image:''' {{tlx|See above|<nowiki>[[#chart1992|1992 statistics graph]]</nowiki>}}

produces: {{See above|[[#chart1992|1992 statistics graph]]}}

== Parameters ==

* {{para|text}} AKA {{para|content}} AKA first unnamed parameter – the text to use between "''(see ''" and "'')''".
