This template displays [[tone indicator]]s, an indicator to explicitly state the intonation or intent of the message, for use in discussions, '''not''' in articles.

== Usage ==

This template implements [[tone indicators]], a symbol to explicitly state the intonation or intent of the message, for use in discussions.

Tone indicators are generally appended to messages (or sentences) to reflect the intonation/intent of the content preceding them.

=== But why?Example ===

<code>I love vandalism! <nowiki>{{Tone indicator|s}}</nowiki></code>

Inferring meaning, tone and intent of a textual message over the internet can be ''difficult'' at times, especially in heated situations or when the wording could easily mean many things.

would produce

Some contributors can find this inference especially difficult (such as our many [[Neurodiversity|neurodivergent]] editors) - the use of indicators to explicitly state your tone is one thing you can do to help ''everyone'' out in certain circumstances.

"I love vandalism! {{Tone indicator|s}}"
