View source for Template:Not a typo/doc

{{documentation subpage}}
This template can be used to encapsulate deliberate or apparent [[typo]]s to save them from correction by bots and automated wiki-editors. Its purpose is to indicate passages that might appear incorrect to an automated tool, but which are actually correct. It has no effect on the rendered wikitext. The template is also recognized by [[WP:AWB]] during normal Regex typo fixing procedures, in which the program skips the text during its evaluation.
{{tsh|Not typo|nat}}
Any of five names can be used:
# {{Tl|Not a typo}} for items that are actually correct. Examples: bird calls, made-up words, <nowiki>"he put a little {{not a typo|english}} on the ball",</nowiki> in which "english" is not capitalised.
# {{Tl|Typo}} for items that are deliberately incorrect, either because we are illustrating a point, or because it is a direct quote. {{Nowrap|(It is better to use {{tl|Sic|hide{{=}}y}} in quotations.)}}
# {{Tl|Proper name}} for names, such as Fl'''ou'''ride (not fl'''uo'''ride) or Phar'''oa'''h (not phar'''ao'''h).
# {{tl|chem name}} for [[chemical name]]s; for example: <nowiki>{{chem name|poly(1-phenylethene)}}</nowiki>. (This should not be used for [[chemical formulas]] like {{chem|H|2|O}}, for which {{tl|chem}} and {{tl|chem2}} are appropriate.)
# {{Tl|As written}} For situations where the spelling is not deliberately incorrect or correct; for example, a book title: "Pardoe, Julia. ''The Life of Marie de Medici''" as "[[Marie de' Medici]]" has multiple spellings.

Also be aware of:
# {{Tl|Lang}} for other-language text. If this is used a [[List_of_ISO_639-1_codes|language code]] is required.
# {{Tl|Sic}}, which can be used to mark up text, {{Sic|thus}}, or invisibly.

==Examples==
* <syntaxhighlight lang="moin" inline>The first known mention of a form of the word "billiards" appears in [[Edmund Spenser]]'s ''Mother Hubberd's Tale'' in 1591, where he speaks of "... games that may be found ... with dice, with cards, with {{Not a typo|balliards}}."</syntaxhighlight>
*: → The first known mention of a form of the word "billiards" appears in [[Edmund Spenser]]'s ''Mother Hubberd's Tale'' in 1591, where he speaks of "... games that may be found ... with dice, with cards, with {{Not a typo|balliards}}."
* <syntaxhighlight lang="moin" inline>H.C. Nielsen is credited in the film as the '''{{Typo|assistent}}''' director.</syntaxhighlight>
*: → H.C. Nielsen is credited in the film as the '''{{Typo|assistent}}''' director.

==Advanced usage==
* In some cases it may be beneficial to obfuscate the text so that it isn't included when searching for particular patterns. In order to achieve this, {{tl|Not a typo}} supports two parameters, allowing the text to be broken up at an arbitrary position.
: <code><nowiki>{{Not a typo|patt|ern}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>{{Not a typo|pattern}}</nowiki></code>
:: → {{Not a typo|patt|ern}}
== Redirects ==
