{{Redir|Template:Abbrev|the text formatting template that creates a tooltip that explains an abbreviation|Template:Abbr}}

This template should be used when the article appears to have abbreviations that may be confusing to the layman, or even to everyone. See [[WP:Manual of Style#Acronyms and abbreviations]] for the styleguide, and use {{tl|abbr}} for the mouseover-definition template.

==Placement==
Place at the top of the article and/or sections to alert editors.

==Usage==
;articles
* For articles needing major clean-up, place {{tlx|abbreviations|article}} at the top of the ''main page'' to alert readers.
* For articles needing minor clean-up, place {{tlx|abbreviations|article}} at the top of the ''talk page'' to alert editors.

;sections
* To mark specific sections instead of the whole article, place {{tlx|abbreviations|section}} at the top of the section.

;remarks
* The default words "'''article or section'''" are replaceable so you can specify whether the template applies to the whole article or just a section, eg."<nowiki>{{abbreviations|section}}</nowiki>".
* To point out specific abbreviations, you may use {{tlx|abbreviations|article/section|yourexamples}} or {{tlx|abbreviations|2&#61;yourexamples}}
* You may use the optional date parameter, e.g. <code><nowiki>{{abbreviations|</nowiki>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. This helps with the categorization of articles requiring attention.
* The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste<code> <nowiki>{{abbreviations|</nowiki>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> at the top of the article or talk page.
* Add a new item to the talk page explaining the problem so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.

==Notes==
*This template will add tagged articles to dated subcategories of [[:Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues by month]] and to [[:Category:All articles with style issues]].
* This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]].
* Please do not [[Wikipedia:Subst|subst:]] this template.
