Template:Redacted/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Redacted. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 2,800 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template can be used to show where part of a comment was removed according to Wikipedia policy (such as a personal attack or according to the Oversight policy) but the rest of the comment remains.
Not all removals are marked in this fashion, and some removals are not marked at all. This template should not be substituted.
Adding a parameter allows the specification of a reason for the redaction:
{{redacted|legal threat}}
This causes the output to appear in a hover-over message reading "Content was removed for the following reason: reason":
(Redacted)
Do not wrap complex content in this template
[edit]Use <s>...</s> or <del>...</del>, or a template that is wrapper for one of them, such as {{Strikethrough}}.
This template uses the title= attribute inside an HTML element. Consequently, other HTML elements (including those provided by templates and wikimarkup like ''italics'') cannot be used inside the value of the template parameter. It is only for plaintext comments like "legal threat" or "personal attack".
