This template uses Lua: Module:Labelled list hatnote (sandbox)

This template is used to create hatnotes to point to a small number of other related titles at the top of article sections (excluding the lead). It looks like this:

Do not use this template on top of a page, where hatnotes are for disambiguation and not for related topics (according to WP:RELATED). Do not use this template inside the "See also" section at the end of an article, or for links to other articles or subsections of the same article within regular article text. Where subsections are linked to, Template:Section link may be suitable instead. For use on category pages, the corresponding template is Template:Category see also.

Refer to the examples below to see how the template handles link targets containing section links and commas.
