Template:Physics particle/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Physics particle.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS.

Purpose

Template for creating symbols for physics particles.

Arguments

1 The main symbol character(s) for the particle

Named arguments:

TL = What goes into the top left corner (optional)

BL = What goes into the bottom left corner (optional)

TR = What goes into the top right corner (optional)

BR = What goes into the bottom right corner (optional)

anti = yes – this puts a bar over the symbol

link = Page to which the symbol should link

Deprecated:

BLc = Originally used to supply the count of characters in BL argument.

BRc = Originally used to supply the count of characters in BR argument.

Here's a diagram:

^TL
_BLX^TR
_BR

Examples

Template:Subatomic particle uses this template to display particles, e.g.:

{{Subatomic particle|link=yes|Electron}} → e⁻
is the same as

{{Physics particle|e|TR=−|link=Electron}} → e⁻
(an electron)

{{Subatomic particle|Strange antib0}} → B⁰
_s is the same as

{{Physics particle|anti=yes|B|TR=0|BR=s|BRc=1}} → B⁰
_s (a meson)

The templates in Category:Nuclide templates use this template to display nuclides, e.g.:

{{ComplexNuclide|deuterium|link=yes}} → ²
₁D is the same as

{{Physics particle|D|TL=2|BL=1|BR=1|link=deuterium}} → ²
₁D
₁
