sic – Template

The Latin adverb sic ("thus"; in full: sic erat scriptum, "thus was it written") added immediately after a quoted word or phrase (or a longer piece of text), indicates that the quotation has been transcribed exactly as found in the original source, complete with any erroneous or archaic spelling or other nonstandard presentation. - Wikipedia

Or in other words: Use to denote that what looks like a spelling or grammar mistake, is in fact, not.

Usage

{{sic}} placed immediately after a circumstantially correct but unusual spelling or grammatically iffy statement, will add a small but superior note at that point in the text, that links to Category:Sic Erat Scriptum, whilst simultaneously adding the page to that Category.

Example

If we have a sentence containing:

"...so we can then use setDammage to..."

We can add this template like so:

"...so we can then use setDammage{{sic}} to..."

which will produce:

"...so we can then use setDammage^[sic] to..."

Alternatively we may highlight the sic statement thus:

"...so we can then use {{sic|setDammage}} to..."

which will produce:

"...so we can then use setDammage^[sic] to..."
