{{Template shortcut|a.k.a.|AKA|also known as}}<br />
This template provides the string "<samp>a.k.a.</samp>" (or alternatively "<samp>AKA</samp>") marked up as an abbreviation, with a mouse-over tooltip explaining that it means "<samp>also known as</samp>". It is intended for first use of "a.k.a." or "AKA" in an article, and need not be used in subsequent cases on the same page.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Example:<br /><br />
{{in5}}<code>...funded by ARPA {{tlf|aka}} DARPA.</code><br />
gives:<br /><br />
{{in5}}...funded by ARPA {{aka}} DARPA.<br />
<br />
=== Parameters ===<br />
* {{para|uc|y}} (for "uppercase") or {{para|AKA|y}} – Will change the "<samp>a.k.a.</samp>" output to read "<samp>AKA</samp>". This should not be used in contexts which contain a lot of acronyms. However, it is useful in contexts that already have a lot of periods (full points).<br />
<br />
There is no parameter to output the substandard "<samp>aka</samp>".<br />
<br />
There is no parameter to output "<samp>A.K.A.</samp>", an obsolete style of treating all-uppercase acronyms and initialisms, which is recommended against by the [[WP:Manual of Style]].<br />
