Template:Abbr

Documentation

[purge]

{{abbr}} is an abbreviation template.

Usage

{{abbr}} takes two unnamed parameters, in order:

1. The short form, which shows as text on the page
2. The long form, which the short form is an abbreviation for

The template also has two named parameters:

• |class=
• |id=

which create the corresponding HTML attributes on the abbr element.
