Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 63,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Superscripts text, i.e.

{{sup|Text to be superscripted}} produces:

This template is listed at Misplaced Pages:Subst as a good candidate for substituting (i.e. {{subst:sup}}). On a page that uses the template many times, however, this is likely to clutter and lengthen the page significantly.

Text can also be superscripted simply by using the <sup>...</sup> tags, so that:

<sup>Text to be superscripted</sup> also produces:

For page numbers after references, {{rp}} should be used instead.
