Template:Sic/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Sic. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The Sic template is placed after a verbatim quote or transcription that contains an error. It indicates to the reader that the unusual spelling, punctuation, or grammar was not a typo made during transcription, but intentionally reproduced as it appears in the source text.
Usage
This template should be placed directly after the error. The word or phrase containing the error can optionally be placed in the first unnamed parameter, which delimits the scope and ensures that automated processes are less likely to try to fix the "problem". Visually, the output will be the same.
{{Sic|Text containing error (optional)}}
Examples
Soem text{{Sic}}produces: Soem text[sic]{{Sic|Soem text}}produces: Soem text[sic]
