Template:Strong bad

{{{1}}}

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

No relation to {{Homestar Runner}}.

Usage

This template is used to insert a quick and easy warning or negative notice with high visibility (because it is red) on project and discussion pages (like the following sentence). This template cannot be used in articles. In situations where color is not relevant (color blindness, screen readers, etc.), it renders exactly the same as {{strong}} (to which it is a CSS-styled call). This template is only for use in template documentation, guidelines, and other Bharatpedia-internal purposes. It is the opposite of the {{stronggood}} template.

{{strongbad|important text}}

Parameters

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options. If a row renders identically to a previous row, it means the current template does not support that option and {{tlg}} needs to be used instead.

Parameter	Action	Use with {{example}}	Default active
	Default (without accessory parameters)	example
brace	Include braces as part of the template link	example	{{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside	Include innermost braces as part of the template link	example
bold	Renders the template link/name in bold	example	{{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code	Display output using HTML <code>...</code> tags (monospaced font)	example	{{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.
italic	Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics	example	{{tlxi}}
kbd	Display output using HTML <kbd>...</kbd> tags (monospaced font)	example
nolink	Don't render the template name as a link	example	{{tlf}}, {{tnull}}
nowrap	Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output	example	{{tlp}}
nowrapname	Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed)	example
plaincode	Uses <code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...</code>	example	{{tltss}}
subst	Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name	example	{{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc
alttext=[text]	Replace [text] with the actual label to be displayed for the template link	example	{{tla}}
_show_result	Will also display the result of the template	Min
_expand	Will add a link to the expanded template page	Min
a	will add an asterisk before the template code	Min

Unnamed (Positional)

This template can take any number of unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.

Examples

Use the displayed value in the code column, not the underlying source code.

Note

On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2, ..., X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.

{{twlh|Hatnote}}	Template:Hatnote (links, talk)

These both render as:

important text

It is safest to always use the |1= syntax.

This template puts intentional and explicit <strong>...</strong> (importance, seriousness, or urgency) HTML markup around the text provided as the first parameter.

Because some people are color blind, and some use screen readers, this template should not be used in a manner in which only the color indicates the difference between the content being marked up and other content; it's simply a visual aid for those who can use it.

Parameters

See also: Template:Strong § Optional parameters

See also

• {{strong}} – same but not red (same color as surrounding text, usually black)
• {{stronggood}} – same but green
• {{em}} – for italic rather than bold semantic emphasis
   

• {{xt}} inline positive example text, in green, with serif font
• {{xt2}} same as {{xt}} but for blocks of text
• {{bxt}} same as {{xt}} but uses bold instead of serif font
• {{mxt}} same as {{xt}} but uses mono-spaced font (especially useful in source code)
   
• {{!xt}} inline negative example text, in red, with serif font
• {{!xt2}} same as {{!xt}} but for blocks (i.e., same as {{xt2}} but red)
• {{!bxt}} same as {{!xt}} but uses boldface
• {{!mxt}} same as {{!xt}} but uses mono-spaced font; used for incorrect or strongly deprecated code/output/input examples and should usually be wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd> as appropriate; see also {{dc}} and its variants below
• {{!xts}} same as {{!xt}} but also strikes through the text
• {{dcr}} inline strongly deprecated or deleted material; {{dc2}} variant has strikethrough (they both use the <del> element, and do not add monospace font on their own; can be used in mainspace (articles), and where necessary wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd>); see also {{dc}} below
   
• {{xtd}} inline deprecated (or uncertain, unavailable, lorem, etc.) example text, in grey
• {{bxtd}} same as {{xtd}} but uses boldface
• {{mxtd}} same as {{xtd}} but uses Template:Mxtd
• {{dc}} inline deprecated or deleted material; (uses the <del> element, and does not add monospace font on it own; can be used in mainspace (articles), and where necessary wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd>); see also {{dcr}} above
   
• {{xtn}} inline neutral example text, with no color change, when none of the above applies; used for "permissible" examples neither favored nor deprecated
• {{xtn2}} same as {{xtn}} but for blocks of text
• {{bxtn}} same as {{xtn}} but uses boldface; it still applies a CSS class, so it's not simply boldfacing
• {{mxtn}} same as {{xtn}} but uses mono-spaced font; this is a good template to use when the shaded box formatting of <code>...</code> might be undesirable, or the semantics of it is incorrect in the context
• {{strongbad}} – for introducing something as deprecated or issuing some other warning in documentation, e.g.: Not for use in mainspace.
