The italic lightweight notes at the top of articles are "hatnotes" (per
Wikipedia:Hatnote, in the Manual of Style). Anyone ready with the background

Just a guess, but if the footnote is named after the thing at the lowest
point of the human body, then a hatnote could be named after the thing at
the highest point.
