==H==

;{{Anchor|Hagiography}}[[Hagiography]]
: Wording that is excessively fulsome, adulatory or glowing in a biographical article, to the point of violating {{slink||NPOV}}.
;{{Anchor|Handwaving|Armwaving|Handwave|Hand-wave|Armwave|Arm-wave|Arm-waving|Hand-waving}}Handwaving, armwaving
: An assertion not supported by evidence; most frequently seen in [[WP:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] discussions, when editors may assert that a subject is [[WP:Notability|notable]], but fail to make a convincing case. Such arguments are usually given less weight. ''See also [[Handwave]].''
;{{Anchor|Hatnote}}[[WP:Hatnote|Hatnote]]
: A short note placed at the top of an article before the primary topic.
;{{Vanchor|Hard redirect}}
: Equivalent to the usual {{slink||Redirect}}, used to differentiate it from the {{slink||Soft redirect}}.
;{{Vanchor|Hat}}
: 1. A collapsed (section of) discussion enclosed by {{tl|hat}} ([[Template:Hidden archive top]]) and {{tl|hab}} ([[Template:Hidden archive bottom]]) templates. ''See: Hatted, Hatting''
: 2. A specific user right, in the context of [[Wikipedia:Hat collecting]].
;{{Anchor|Hatted|Hatting}}Hatted, Hatting
: Refers to using {{tlx|hat}} ([[Template:Hidden archive top]]) to close and collapse a discussion to discourage further editing, without removing it completely from the page.
;{{Vanchor|History}}
: All previous versions of an article, from its creation to its current state. Also called ''page history''. ''See also: '''[[Help:Page history]]'''.''
;{{Vanchor|Hook}}
: A short entry at [[Wikipedia:Did you know]].
;{{Vanchor|Hopelessly POV}}
: Describing an article which, in the opinion of some Wikipedians, is so closely tied to a particular point of view as to be inherently in violation of [[WP:Neutral point of view|Wikipedia policy]] and unable to be made neutral. Other Wikipedians consider the accusation "hopelessly POV" as being merely an excuse to suppress certain points of view.
;{{Vanchor|HTH|Hth|hth}}
: Short for ''Hope this helps''. Seen at the end of a talk page comment by a responder trying to answer a user question.
