• It can normally take two parameters that are word fragments to obfuscate the text from automated correction systems. However, these parameters are not necessary, as they simply print back out the fragments combined, displaying the equivalent to the template called with no parameters after the combined word.
• The first parameter can be set to a "?" to append a "?" within the brackets, to mark that it can not be easily determined whether the error was copied directly from the source or was added during transcription. If used with the obfuscation feature, the "?" must come first and the word fragments are simply shifted over by a parameter.
• a named parameter nolink can be specified to remove the hyperlink to sic article on wikipedia.
• a named parameter hide can be specified to disable the display on the displayed page, but still benefit from the obfuscation of the error. If using this option, the |? option and the nolink=y option have no effect as they only effect the display, which would be hidden.
• a named parameter can be added that can be called anything not above, usually expected, that will not effect how it is displayed and can be used as a note to future editors to indicate what the expected word would have been.
