Template:Not a typo/doc

This template can be used to encapsulate deliberate or apparent typos to save them from correction by bots and automated wiki-editors. Its purpose is to indicate passages that might appear incorrect to an automated tool, but which are actually correct. It has no effect on the rendered wikitext. The template is also recognized by WP:AWB during normal Regex typo fixing procedures, in which the program skips the text during its evaluation.

Any of five names can be used:
 * 1) Not a typo for items that are actually correct. Examples: bird calls, made-up words, "he put a little english on the ball", in which "english" is not capitalised.
 * 2) Typo for items that are deliberately incorrect, either because we are illustrating a point, or because it is a direct quote. (It is better to use Sic in quotations.)
 * 3) Proper name for names, such as Flouride (not fluoride) or Pharoah (not pharaoh).
 * 4) chem name for chemical names; for example:  . (This should not be used for chemical formulas like, for which chem and chem2 are appropriate.)
 * 5) As written For situations where the spelling is not deliberately incorrect or correct; for example, a book title: "Pardoe, Julia. The Life of Marie de Medici" as "Marie de' Medici" has multiple spellings.

Also be aware of:
 * 1) Lang for other-language text. If this is used a language code is required.
 * 2) Sic, which can be used to mark up text, thus [sic], or invisibly.

Examples

 * → The first known mention of a form of the word "billiards" appears in Edmund Spenser's Mother Hubberd's Tale in 1591, where he speaks of "... games that may be found ... with dice, with cards, with balliards."
 * → H.C. Nielsen is credited in the film as the  director.
 * → H.C. Nielsen is credited in the film as the  director.
 * → H.C. Nielsen is credited in the film as the  director.

Advanced usage

 * In some cases it may be beneficial to obfuscate the text so that it isn't included when searching for particular patterns. In order to achieve this, Not a typo supports two parameters, allowing the text to be broken up at an arbitrary position.
