	The {{tlf\|Selfref\|text}} template adds to a Wikipedia article a [[WP:HAT\|hatnote]] (in this case, merely: ''text'') that will ''not appear'' in any [[WP:Reusing Wikipedia content\|reuse of Wikipedia article content]]. In [[WP:Glossary\|Wikipedia terminology]], self-references in an article usually mention Wikipedia directly or tell readers to take an action that has to take place on Wikipedia, such as editing the article. Typically, self-references within Wikipedia articles to the Wikipedia project should be avoided. Reading such information off-site would only cause confusion.

	With this template, you can safely make a self-reference ''where needed'', but that need is rare. Before using this template, make sure the self-reference that you're thinking of adding doesn't fall into one of the types listed at [[Wikipedia:Self-references to avoid]]. Most other hatnote templates, such as {{t\|for}} and {{t\|about}} support a {{para\|selfref}} parameter which may be more convenient to use.

	In most cases, {{tlf\|Selfref}} is used to create a disambiguation link to a page in the "Wikipedia:" namespace from article-space; for instance, the page [[Objectivity (disambiguation)]] could have a self-referential "[[WP:HATNOTE\|hatnote]]" link at the top: <code><nowiki>{{Selfref\|For Wikipedia's policy on avoiding bias, see [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]].}}</nowiki></code>.

	Rarely, there is other, non-self-referential content which shouldn't appear in mirrors, print editions, or other off-Wikipedia reuses of Wikipedia content, and which shouldn't be italicized as a self-reference.		Rarely, there is other, non-self-referential content which shouldn't appear in mirrors, print editions, or other off-Wikipedia reuses of Wikipedia content, and which shouldn't be italicized as a self-reference.

	It is preferable to mark such unprintworthy content with the {{tl\|Unprintworthy inline}} template (which includes the <code>noprint</code> CSS class, but not the <code>plainlinks</code> class, since links in such content will not be internal self-references). Although not all [[WP:Mirrors and forks\|mirror sites]] do so, the content in question can be removed by reusers of WP content, without any reformatting, by ignoring or removing content marked up by this template, or more accurately by the <code>selfreference</code> CSS class that it (and some other templates) use.
