:Defaults to a search function. The result is similar to pressing "search" under the search bar instead of "go." Can be changed to direct to a disambiguation page if editors feel that is prudent. You will also need to adjust the target page if the entity has spaces in the name. Replace the space with a "_". So "Draped Armor" would be Draped_Armor in the link.

Please use sparingly. It is the norm for items in SK to be closely related with similar names, so using a template like this really interrupts the flow and core function of pages. For a long time editors have used redirects to get players where they need to go on average - but that's an average. Without a template like this, some things can be confusing for new players searching for one type of thing but ending up somewhere else. This should help with future article issues too, if more furniture items share names with tokens and gear and whatnot.

Notes

Please use sparingly. It is the norm for items in SK to be closely related with similar names, so using hatnote templates tends to interrupt the flow and core function of pages. Editors use redirects to get players where they need to go on average - but that's an average. Without a template like this, some things can be confusing for new players searching for one type of thing but ending up somewhere else.
