 | This article may have confusing or ambiguous abbreviations. (May 2024) |
Template documentationThis template should be used when the article appears to have abbreviations that may be confusing to the layman, or even to everyone. See BattleTechWiki:Manual of Style#Acronyms and abbreviations for the styleguide, and use {{abbr}} for the mouseover-definition template.
Contents
Placement[edit]
Place at the top of the article and/or sections to alert editors.
Usage[edit]
- articles
- For articles needing major clean-up, place
{{abbreviations|article}}at the top of the main page to alert readers. - For articles needing minor clean-up, place
{{abbreviations|article}}at the top of the talk page to alert editors.
- sections
- To mark specific sections instead of the whole article, place
{{abbreviations|section}}at the top of the section.
- remarks
- The default words "article or section" are replaceable so you can specify whether the template applies to the whole article or just a section, eg."{{abbreviations|section}}".
- To point out specific abbreviations, you may use
{{abbreviations|article/section|yourexamples}}or{{abbreviations|2=yourexamples}} - You may use the optional date parameter, e.g.
{{abbreviations|date=May 2024}}. This helps with the categorization of articles requiring attention. - The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste
{{abbreviations|date=May 2024}}at the top of the article or talk page. - Add a new item to the talk page explaining the problem so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.
Notes[edit]
- This template will add tagged articles to the category of Category:articles with style issues.
- This template is a self-reference.
- Please do not subst: this template.
