 | 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 184,000 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 is obsolete, this template may be used as a replacement for presentation markup.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.
