Template:Emoticon/doc

The {{emoticon}} template is meant to show emoticons graphically. It is for use in discussion pages ONLY, as emoticons are not appropriate for standard entries.

Instead of writing:

  • This is a neat idea :)

You can write:

  • This is a neat idea Smiley.gif


Usage[edit]

{{emoticon| :) }}

Where ":)" can be replaced with any available emoticon, as shown below. If an unrecognized emoticon is used the template will display nothing.

Example[edit]

You should use emoticons sparingly {{emoticon|>:(}}

Will display:

You should only use emoticons sparingly Angry.gif
