| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Big. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template is used on 174,000+ pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
| This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
Usage
Since <big>...</big> is obsolete, this template may be used as a replacement for presentation markup.
It takes one parameter: The text to enlarge.
{{big|text to make larger}}
If the value passed to the template contains an "=" (equals sign) character it must be done like so:
{{big|1=text to make larger}}
or the offending "=" character(s) must be replaced with =.
This template is compatible with the {{Unicode}}, {{IPA}}, and similar templates:
{{big|{{unicode|ὡ}}}}
Example of typical usage:
Blah blah blah {{big|æ}} versus {{big|œ}} blah blah.
This looks like:
- Blah blah blah æ versus œ blah blah.
TemplateData
This is the TemplateData documentation for this template used by VisualEditor and other tools; see the monthly parameter usage report for this template.

<small>...</small> - {{huge}} - for diacritic marks only; similar to {{big}} but considerably larger, and compensates for vertical alignment.
- {{resize}} - generic resizing
- {{larger}} - not quite as large as {{big}}
- {{large}} - simply large
