Template:Contains special characters
(Redirected from Template:Special characters)
This template flags potential font/encoding issues for users when an article contains text which may not be renedered correctly on out-of-the-box installations of current operating systems.
Usage[change source]
Place at the top of affected articles. Each particular language should have a separate template that calls SpecialChars with the following parameters (as appropriate for that language).
{{ SpecialChars
| image =
| special =
| fix =
| characters =
| error =
}}
- image
- (optional) Just the title (no 'image:' prefix) of an image of the characters, ideally legible at 65x50px and either square or slightly wider than tall.
- special
- The languages or special content the page includes. Free-form, so you can specify as many as you like. Remember to link to the root pages for the characters / language.
- fix
- Link to a page with the solution (installing fonts etc.). This should just be the title of the fix page, unlinked.
- characters
- The specific type of characters that might be missing (i.e. kanji, kana). Free-form, remember to use links.
- error
- The rendering error observed (defaults to mojibake). Free-form.
