This template is used in WikiProject Chess articles containing chess moves written in algebraic notation. It generates a {{side box}} to alert the reader to the fact, and provides a link to Algebraic notation. The tag comes in three flavors:
Articles
editTo place right, specify: {{algebraic notation}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=right}}
To place left, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=left}}
To place adjacent to the TOC, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=tocleft}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=toc}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=TOC}}
Sections
editTo place right, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=secright}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=section}}
To place left, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=secleft}}
Examples
editTo place right, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=egright}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=example}}
To place left, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=egleft}}
Tips:
- Avoid using an article-level tag in a biography article. (It detracts from the lead image.) Use a section-level tag(s), or diagram-level tag(s), instead.
- Try to place section-level tags nearest where they're needed. (For example, if a section is long and chess moves appear only in a later subsection, use the tag in the subsection.)
- Unlike the other options,
pos=tocleftandpos=tocandpos=TOCgenerate the template sequence:
... so it won't always work as desired when competing images exist to the right. In that case, first isolate the competing images using the template{{TOC left}}<br />{{algebraic notation|pos=left}}{{clear left}}{{stack|image1|image2}}.
