tophats or hatnotes?
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_hat_(disambiguation) - no mention there of "tophat" to mean what Wikipedia calls a "hatnote". Could we standardize here? -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 22:41, June 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * If I had to guess, I would say it was just a typo that never got caught; Wikipedia's always referred to those templates as hatnotes or dabnotes (though the distinction between those terms was never very clear to me, and they seem to have standardized/converged on the former). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:02, June 27, 2016 (UTC)


 * Good point - I've just switched out the word. Thanks! 18:00, July 21, 2016 (UTC)
