Template:Jk/doc

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

Purpose

[edit]

Just kidding

This template may be used (on Talk pages and in Project space) to tag a joke that might otherwise be misinterpreted or, worse, missed. It was inspired by the {{FBDB}} template.

Optional parameter

[edit]

The template takes the optional |reason= parameter; if it has text, it will be appended after the "This statement is intended as a joke." message in the pop-up tooltip. This content must be plain text (no links, HTML, or other markup).

Usage

[edit]

{{jk}} → ^{[just kidding]}
{{jk|short=yes}} → ^[JK]
{{jk|reason=Tooltip addition}} → ^{[just kidding]}
