- sections
- To mark specific sections instead of the whole article, place

- remarks
- The default words "article or section" are replaceable so you can specify whether the template applies to the whole article or just a section, eg."{{abbreviations|section}}".
- To point out specific abbreviations, you may use
{{abbreviations|article/section|yourexamples}}or{{abbreviations|2=yourexamples}} - You may use the optional date parameter, e.g.
{{abbreviations|date=January 2026}}. This helps with the categorization of articles requiring attention. - The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste
{{abbreviations|date=January 2026}}at the top of the article or talk page. - Add a new item to the talk page explaining the problem so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.
