Template:This article/sandbox
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:This article (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
 | This template should not be substituted. |
Rarely necessary, this template may be used to generate the words, "this article", and should be used exclusively in articles talking about themselves when a selfref issue applies, such as an article about Wikipedia history which may talk about the article itself.
Usage
[edit]{{this article}}
{{this article|cap=y}}
{{this article|this Wikipedia page}}
Parameters
[edit]There are two optional parameters:
|cap=– if present, emits a capital 'T' on the word This|1=– alters the wording to whatever you specify (alias:|text=; default: "this article")
Examples
