This template is used in system messages, and on approximately 306,000 pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Misplaced Pages user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

{{No spam|account|example.com}} → accountexample.com

{{No spam}} (or {{@}}) →

This template is designed to help prevent spam from being sent to an e-mail address inserted onto a Misplaced Pages page. Because nearly all spam is automated, altering the format of the e-mail address to where it does not match the regular expression(s) in the e-mail address search engine helps prevent spam. This template works by displaying an image of the '@' symbol. If an email address input is provided, the template will display the email address and with an image of the '@' symbol inserted (instead of the symbol's actual text). This prevents automated search engines and crawlers that use the '@' symbol in their search algorithms and regex code from identifying email addresses published on Misplaced Pages, hence preventing the email address from being retrieved and added to any spam recipient lists.
