 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
 | This template is used in MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-DS, and on approximately 272,000 pages, or roughly 1885% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
Since <big>...</big> is obsolete, this template may be used as a replacement for presentation markup.
It takes one parameter: The text to enlarge.
- {{big|text to make larger}}
If the value passed to the template contains an "=" (equals sign) character it must be done like so:
- {{big|1=text to make larger}}
or the offending "=" character(s) must be replaced with =.
This template is compatible with the {{IPA}}, and similar templates:
{{big|{{IPA|ὡ}}}}
Example of typical usage:
Blah blah blah {{big|æ}} versus {{big|œ}} blah blah.
This looks like:
- Blah blah blah æ versus œ blah blah.
