Template:A note - Wikipedia

Note:

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 5,000 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's documentation is missing, inadequate, or does not accurately describe its functionality or the parameters in its code. (Reason: explanation is more confusing than the actual function. Example suggests the template produces the comment text, which it doesn't.) Please help to expand and improve it.

Usage

Note: The "A" in the name of this template doesn't stand for anything, it's the English article "a". {{note}} already existed as part of the old way of doing citations.

Pass an argument for a custom start. {{A note|Custom note:}} produces:
