{{hatnote|This template is for linking to main content. For the mainspace detection template, see [[:template:main other]].}}

When an article is large, it is often written in summary style. This template is used after the heading of the summary, to link to the subtopic article that has been summarized. For [[Help:Category|Category namespace]], please use '''{{tl|Cat main}}''' instead.

Use of this template should be restricted to the purposes described above. It is {{em|not}} to be used as a substitute for inline links or {{tl|Further}} template. The latter is used when the section expounds a specific aspect of the topic instead of summarizing its article. For example, in [[phthalate]], the template under the "Endocrine disruptor" section should {{em|not}} be {{tlf|Main|Endocrine disruptor}}, because the section specifically deals with phthalate as an endocrine disruptor and not endocrine disruptors in general.

Use of this template should be restricted to the purposes described above. It is {{em|not}} to be used as a substitute for inline links or {{tl|Further}} template. The latter is used when the section expounds a specific aspect of the topic instead of summarizing its article.

Do not use this template on top of a page (such as above the lead), where hatnotes are for disambiguation and not for related topics. A lead section is always a summary of its own article, not any other; as such, the only appropriate target for a {{tl|Main}} link in the lead section would be the article itself, which is not useful.

*<code>1</code>, <code>2</code>, <code>3</code>, ... – the pages to link to. If no page names are specified, the current page name is used instead (without the [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]] prefix). Categories and files are automatically escaped with the [[Help:Colon trick|colon trick]], and links to sections are automatically formatted as ''page § section'', rather than the MediaWiki default of ''page#section''.

*<code>l1</code>, <code>l2</code>, <code>l3</code>, ... ''or''<code>label 1</code>, <code>label 2</code>, <code>label 3</code>, ... – optional labels for each of the pages to link to (this is for articles where a piped link would be used). Note that the extra parameters use a lower case 'L', for example, <code>l1</code>, <u>not</u> <code>L1</code>.

*<code>selfref</code> – if set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references to ~~Wikipedia~~. See [[Template:Selfref]] for more information. This is only necessary in articles and other content (e.g. templates) that will appear in articles, and need not be added for uses of this template on <code>~~Wikipedia~~:</code> namespace pages.
