Template:Sic

Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Sic/doc. [edit] [history] [purge]

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|Soem text}} produces: Soem text
