Template documentation{{See above}} and {{See below}} are simple wrappers for {{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 , Addamasartus was used as the rebels' base of operations."
For more complex custom cross-references, use {{Crossreference}} directly. But please read WP:SELFREF, and avoid "talking at" the reader (Bad idea: For a fuller treatment of the Elbonian Uprising and its consequences, more information is provided at our article ...). OODA WIKI is not a classroom.
For cross-references between articles, use {{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 inline (not block-level) cross-reference to other content in the same article.
They are not OODA WIKI 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.
