Hatnote cleanup listings

Handy regex search-and-replace pairs

([^\.,:;])\s*<\s*ref(\s*[^>]*)>([^<]*)<\s*\/\s*ref\s*>([\.,:;])
- $1$4<ref$2>$3</ref>
([^\.,:;])\s*<\s*ref\s*([^>]*)\s*\/>([\.,:;])
- $1$3<ref $2 />
<\s*ref\s+name\s*=\s*([^"]*?)(\s*\/?)\s*>
- <ref name="$1"$2>
<ref name="([^"]*?)"\/>
- <ref name="$1" />
(\{\{[^\}]*?\|\s*title\s*=[^\}]*?\|\s*title\s*=)
- $1

To do

In no particular order:

Add length check to for-see renderer to categorize long hatnotes
Double-check for unimplemented modules and module sandboxes to poke at
Actually implement Module:Labelled list hatnote in more templates like {{ see also}} etc.
Review hatnote-related CSS classes, with an eye to getting each documented and/or deprecated
Look into the specifics of {{ pagelist}}; there's substantial overlap with Module:Hatnote list and the former could use some significant cleanup
Add more to this list!

Notes from a survey of the main group of hatnote templates

Template	Type	Based on	Lua	Implemented with	Uses TEXT	Supports `selfref`	List type	Rough usage count	Notes
Template:About	Core	—	Yes	Module:About	No	No	For-see, or TEXT	149k
Template:About-distinguish	Compound	{{ about}} & {{ distinguish}}	Yes	Module:About-distinguish	No	No	Or	519
Template:About-distinguish-text	Compound variant	{{ about-distinguish}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	Yes	No	TEXT	515	Forces TEXT for distinguish-list.
Template:About other people	Compound	{{ about}} & {{ other people}}	Yes	Module:About other people	No	No	And	405	Successfully replaced {{ other people3}}, with a similar form but narrower scope and better syntax
Template:Broader	Core	—	Yes	Module:Broader	No	Yes	And	752
Template:Distinguish	Core	—	Yes	Module:Distinguish	No	No	Or, or TEXT	82k
Template:For	Core	—	Yes	Module:For	No	Yes	And	173k	Standalone for-see with and-list in the "see" part.
Template:For multi	Variant	{{ for}}	Yes	Module:Hatnote list	No	No	For-see	6k	For-see list, filling niche of headless {{ about}} more elegantly.
Template:For-text	Variant	{{ for}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	Yes	No	For-see & TEXT	478	Forces TEXT for every "see" in for-see list. Seems inconsistent. Many uses fixed, some still can be replaced with {{ for multi}}.
Template:Further	Core	—	Yes	Module:Labelled list hatnote	No	Yes	And	55k
Template:Further-text	Variant	{{ further}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	Yes	No	And & TEXT	450	Similar to {{ further}} but forces TEXT for each item (which is ugly). Bulk of (simple) uses simplified to {{ further}}, but more is possible.
Template:Main	Core	—	Yes	Module:Labelled list hatnote	No	Yes	And	318k
Template:Main list	Variant	{{ main}}	Yes	Module:Main list	No	No	And	1374	Standalone for-see, like {{ for}}, with preset "for" part. Template title misleading given difference from {{ main}}? Might be better merged into {{ main}}?
Template:Other hurricanes	Variant	{{ other uses}} and/or {{ about}}	No	{{ about}}	No	No	—	321	{{ about}}-start followed by {{ other uses}} list (supporting at most one item) with custom defaults and misordered parameters (`{{other hurricanes\|OTHERUSES\|ABOUT}}`). Check for consistency in "other" family; this one uses "of the same name".
Template:Other people	Variant	{{ other uses}}	Yes	Module:Other people	No	No	—	34k	Behaviour similar to {{ other uses}} with custom string, either "other people named X" or "other people with the same name" depending on parameterization.
Template:Other places	Variant	{{ other uses}}	Yes	Module:Other uses	No	No	And	22k	Similar form to {{ other uses}}, but "other places with the same name"
Template:Other ships	Variant	{{ other uses}}	Yes	Module:Other uses	No	No	And	14k	Similar form to {{ other uses}} but "other ships with the same name".
Template:Other uses	Core	—	Yes	Module:Other uses	No	No	And	63k
Template:Other uses of	Variant	{{ other uses}}	Yes	Module:Other uses of	No	No	—	1k	Slightly different phrasing of "other uses" so that disambiguation link gets context. Phrase and target params, with defaulting for lack of each.
Template:Redirect	Core	—	Yes	Module:Redirect hatnote	No	Yes	For-see, or TEXT	48k
Template:Redirect2	Variant	{{ redirect}}	Yes	Module:Redirect hatnote	No	Yes	For-see	1k	As {{ redirect}} but with two redirect items
Template:Redirect-distinguish	Compound	{{ redirect}} & {{ distinguish}}	Yes	Module:Redirect-distinguish	No	No	Or	3k	One redirect parameter
Template:Redirect-distinguish-text	Compound variant	{{ redirect-distinguish}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	Yes	No	TEXT	352	Like {{ redirect-distinguish}} but forces TEXT for second parameter
Template:Redirect-distinguish-for	Compound variant	{{ redirect-distinguish}} & {{ for}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	No	No	???	38	Like {{ redirect-distinguish}} followed by a {{ for}} in the same hatnote. Crazypants.
Template:Redirect-multi	Variant	{{ redirect}}	Yes	Module:Redirect-multi	No	Yes	For-see	567	Provides support for hatnotes listing ≥3 redirects. Has special defaulting and redirect parameters are preceded by a number-of-redirects parameter.
Template:Redirect-several	Variant	{{ redirect}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	No	No	And	131	Similar to {{ redirect}} but uses a message about "several" redirects, then a for-see, forcing "other uses" and then an and-list. Few uses, but they're pretty solid.
Template:Redirect-synonym	Variant	{{ redirect}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	Yes	No	TEXT	490	REDIRECT, plus "REDIRECT may also refer to TEXT".
Template:See also	Core	—	Yes	Module:Labelled list hatnote	No	Yes	And	172k
Template:See also-text	Variant	{{ see also}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	Yes	No	And & TEXT	668	Like {{ see also}}, but each item TEXT like {{ further-text}}.
Template:See introduction	Variant	{{ for}}	No	{{ For}}	No	No	—	17	A standalone for-see but hardcoded "for" and specially-defaulted "see"; exactly one parameter.
Template:See Wiktionary	Variant	{{ about}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	No	No	For-see?	150	Not unlike {{ about}} but specifically for referring to Wiktionary.
Template:Similar names	Variant	{{ other people}}	Yes	Module:Other uses	No	No	Or	1867	Similar form to {{ other people}} but "other people with similar names". Possibly a merge candidate?
Template:Year dab	Variant	{{ about}}	No	{{ hatnote}}	No	No	For-see?	2k	Basically same form as {{ about}} but hard-coded for the special needs of year pages for referring to their "(number)" counterparts and associated disambiguation pages.
