Template:Emoticon

The {{emoticon}} template is meant to show emoticons graphically. It is for use in discussion pages ONLY, as emoticons are not appropriate for standard entries.

Instead of writing:

• This is a neat idea :)

You can write:

Usage

Where ":)" can be replaced with any available emoticon, as shown below. If an unrecognized emoticon is used the template will display nothing.
