Template:Not a typo
Page Module:Documentation/styles.css has no content.
Script error: No such module "High-use".
Page Module:Shortcut/styles.css has no content.This template can be used to encapsulate deliberate or apparent typos to save them from correction by bots and automated wiki-editors. Its purpose is to indicate passages that might appear incorrect to an automated tool, but which are actually correct. It has no effect on the rendered wikitext. The template is also recognized by AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) during normal Regex typo fixing procedures, in which the program skips the text during its evaluation.
Any of six names can be used:
- Template:Tl for items that are actually correct. Examples: bird calls, made-up words, "he put a little {{not a typo|english}} on the ball", in which "english" is not capitalised.
- Template:Tl for items that are deliberately incorrect, because we are illustrating a point.
- If it is in a direct quote, use Template:Tl instead.
- Template:Tl for names, such as Flouride (not fluoride) or Pharoah (not pharaoh).
- Template:Tl for chemical names; for example: {{chem name|poly(1-phenylethene)}}.
- For chemical formulas like Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.H2O, use Template:Tl or Template:Tl instead.
- Template:Tl For situations where the spelling is not deliberately incorrect or correct.
- For example, Julia Pardoe's book title The Life of Marie de Medicis, Queen of France, Consort of Henri IV, and Regent of the Kingdom Under Louis XIII is neither correct nor incorrect, because both "Marie de' Medici" and "Henry IV" have multiple spellings.
- Template:Tl, e.g. for blackboard bold Unicode characters in image captions, which is otherwise prohibited by
Also be aware of:
- Template:Tl for other-language text. If this is used a language code is required.
- Template:Tl, which can be used to mark up text, thus [sic], or invisibly.
Automated processes that use this template to ignore is-correct text generally do not do template expansion, so this template must appear on the same page as the text to be ignored.
Examples

Advanced usage
- In some cases it may be beneficial to obfuscate the text so that it isn't included when searching for particular patterns. In order to achieve this, Template:Tl supports two parameters, allowing the text to be broken up at an arbitrary position.
{{Not a typo|patt|ern}}instead of{{Not a typo|pattern}}- → pattern
- In cases where nested templates confuse parsers, separate Template:Tl and Template:Tl tags can be used.
