Hatnote (disambiguation)

Hat notes, AKA Notices can include things like Stub and Definition boxes. They appear at the top of the page to inform you of it's status. They look like this:

They are often used to inform the user of something or simply as a marker of what the page needs. They usually come as templates and you add them by putting it's identifier between two brackets. If the page is too short to be a full page, Use stub. If it's a definition, use that one. If you think a page needs to be deleted, use Delete. Otherwise, don't overuse them. They are a tool, not a toy, and they help keep admins and users informed of a page's status.
