Template:Reconstruct/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Reconstruct. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template uses a See H:DIVSPAN for details. |
This template is intended to mark a portion of a text, page or work where a word or phrase has been transcribed based on context, given that it is potentially missing from the scan (due to clipping or other technical issues) as opposed to be being truly unreadable (see also {{illegible}}).
Usage
[edit]{{reconstruct|phrase}}
where phrase is the content that has been added, guessed or reconstructed based on context.
Example:
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
text in which a {{reconstruct|word}} has been reconstructed.
|
text in which a ⟨word⟩ has been reconstructed. |
The optional second parameter can be used to provide more detail about the reconstruction:
* O Romeo, Romeo, {{reconstruct|wherefore|Poor imprint, but can be reconstructed from other editions.}} art thou Romeo?
- O Romeo, Romeo, ⟨wherefore⟩ art thou Romeo?
See also

- {{?}}/{{language characters}} for characters that are not illegible but need specialist entry
- {{redact}} for text that has been redacted in the source document
