Demo[edit]

Beware the ~~Jabberwock~~, my son

they dreaded the return of ~~he who must not be named~~

~~Redacted~~, an Undertale pronounced A.U.

Description[edit]

This is a variation of Template:Thingamabob, a template for marking words as arbitrarily replaced with something else. It may be useful for humor, for particular kinds of art projects.

Parameters[edit]

tts - Pronunciation for replaced text. Specify this first so that if screen readers are attempting to edit a page the TTS-friendly text is said before the "irrelevant" visual text which will be not be read as deleted.
1 - Text that was actually or supposedly "replaced".
caps - If present, text will be capitalized. Use this so that if screen readers are attempting to edit a page regular words will not be read as acronyms.

Not present[edit]

class - use Template:censor if you have some reason to customize this. You may copy this template and create another template if you find a new classname and styling you like.

Internal templates[edit]

Template:TTS - used to specify HTML tag plus pronunciation.
