Template:Sic/doc

This template simplifies insertion of the [sic] notation, which is used where a textual error, or unexpected but intended text that may appear to be an error, has been faithfully reproduced from the original source.

By default, it links to the article Sic for the benefit of readers, but this is disabled if the y parameter is added. When the template is used within the displayed anchor text (right-hand visible portion) of an internal or external link, this parameter is essential to prevent incorrect formatting, as the link will be truncated otherwise. Linking to the Sic article may be undesirable in certain other cases, for example when the template is used many times close together.
