Editing Help:Searching (section)

==== <code>hastemplate:</code> ====
{{anchor|hastemplate}}
{{shortcut|H:HASTEMP}}

This finds pages that use the specified [[Wikipedia:template|template]]. Input the canonical page name to find all usage of the template, but use any of its redirect page names finds just that naming. Namespace aliases are accepted, capitalization is entirely ignored, and redirects are found, all in one name-search.

This is more thorough than <code>insource:</code>, in that it will find meta-templates (templates called by another template). Meta-templates don't show up in the local page's wikitext.

Example of <code>hastemplate:</code> usage:

{{kbd|hastemplate:"Article for deletion/dated"}}

This lets you find all the articles being considered for deletion.

{{kbd|intitle:"Outline of " -hastemplate:"Outline footer"}}

This lets you find [[Wikipedia:Outlines|Wikipedia outlines]] that lack the outline footer template. (Notice the use of the hyphen to indicate "NOT").
