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.

Purpose

Template for creating symbols for physics particles.

1 The main symbol character(s) for the particle

Named arguments:

TL = What goes into the top left corner (optional)

BL = What goes into the bottom left corner (optional)

TR = What goes into the top right corner (optional)

BR = What goes into the bottom right corner (optional)

anti = yes – this puts a bar over the symbol

link = Page to which the symbol should link

Deprecated:

BLc = Originally used to supply the count of characters in BL argument.

BRc = Originally used to supply the count of characters in BR argument.

Here's a diagram:

^TL
_BLX^TR
_BR

Template:Subatomic particle uses this template to display particles, e.g.:

{{Subatomic particle|link=yes|Electron}} → e⁻
is the same as

{{Physics particle|e|TR=−|link=Electron}} → e⁻
(an electron)

{{Subatomic particle|Strange antib0}} → B⁰
_s is the same as

{{Physics particle|anti=yes|B|TR=0|BR=s|BRc=1}} → B⁰
_s (a meson)

The templates in Category:Nuclide templates use this template to display nuclides, e.g.:

{{ComplexNuclide|deuterium|link=yes}} → ²
₁D is the same as

{{Physics particle|D|TL=2|BL=1|BR=1|link=deuterium}} → ²
₁D
₁
