Note
This page is a template. It contains some standardized, often used text, which can be transcluded inside other pages.

As this template is widely used in our wiki, it may be protected in which case only staff members can change it. Use the discussion page to propose enhancements or fixes, or to voice your opinion.

Warning
This template uses an expensive function (as noted on wikipedia). Over use on a single page will have some results ignored. Try to limit it's use to the "See also" sections of articles.
