Why not use this template[edit]
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics/Archive 14#New template Jɪmp 02:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Here's an alternative.
<math>\scriptstyle\sqrt{
Enter your number here.}</math>
- The use of \scriptstyle may sometimes cause problems with spacing/fontsizes. For example: (compare to without scriptstyle: , the plus and equal sign are spaced). Of course spacing can be adjusted manually, but the advantage of √2 + 2 = 2 is that it reduced the loading time of the page, which becomes important for slower internet connections; and also scales better with different font sizes. // stpasha » 08:44, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Now what would really be nice[edit]
... would be a template which gave you the square root of a number. Note: The Wiki software doesn't support the operator ^ thus {{#expr:{{{number}}}^0.5}}
won't work. Pretty damn hopeless but that's the way it is. Jɪmp 02:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, both wishes have come true: {{sqrt}} (where this once was) gives the square root of a number & the Wiki software now does it too. JIMp talk·cont 01:24, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
Still in use?[edit]
Does anybody even use this template? I'd rather it was replaced by {{sqrt|n}}
producing √n
The above comment is from Stpasha at 19:18, 3 November 2010.
- √n vs √n
- √2 vs √2
- √12 vs √12
- √276 vs √276
- √2 vs √2
- √1⁄n vs √1⁄n
- √10100 vs √10100
- √numb vs √numb
It is better. JIMp talk·cont 11:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
... mostly better ... the template's used on one article and on one talk page. JIMp talk·cont 11:38, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
what does √{{{1}}} doing in top[edit]

- Me too. Although preview consideration are now not so important as a year ago, anyway I detest templates which do not show even the simple test case, under the ordinary preview. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Template: Conjugate created as an alternative to buggy {{overline}}[edit]
I announced it at WP: Village pump (technical) #Template: Conjugate, but no reaction ensued. I am not sure that it is much prettier than {{overline}}, but apparently it is not worse. If nobody objects, then I would port this style to {{sqrt}} and {{radic}} to make feasible their use under {{math}}, {{sfrac}}, interval templates, and other similar ones.
