Template:Expand acronym
This inline tag is for placement after an acronym, abbreviation or initialism that is not written in full at first occurrence. The Manual of Style requires all acronyms or abbreviations written in full, followed by the abbreviated form in round brackets. An exception is made for abbreviations that are as well-known or better known than their full name, such as "PhD" and "DNA", for which is it unnecessary to supply the full name on first occurrence.
Usage
This inline template is placed after any acronym, abbreviation or initialism that should be expanded. For example:
A set of rules apply to the various locations of the college, such as the Dining Hall and JCR
{{Expand acronym}}to ensure standards of dress and manners are upheld.
results in:
A set of rules apply to the various locations of the college, such as the Dining Hall and JCR[expand acronym] to ensure standards of dress and manners are upheld.

| Parameter | Explanation |

The text displayed in the tag and the hover text can be changed with this parameter. If null or invalid, "expand acronym" is displayed. if 1= is set to ab, "expand abbreviation" is displayed. If set to in, "expand initialism" is displayed. The hover text is also changed accordingly. This parameter does not need to be named. {{expand acronym|in|date=June 2026}} will function in the same way as {{expand acronym|1=in|date=June 2026}}
