Usage

To replace an acronym used in the context of a discussion in Citizendium with the message/reminder above.

Specific usage

This template can also be used to craft a more specific message by incorporating the targeted acronym as a variable, although, it must be included in the master list of acronyms. For example, when replacing NPOV, include the acronym in the template as follows: {{Acronym|NPOV}}. This allows text to be retrieved from the master list to suggest the preferred plain english alternative.

Use of the template in the following sentence:
I really do not think that this article is adequately {{Acronym|NPOV}} because it only summarizes one side.
will give the following readout:
I really do not think that this article is adequately — (The Constabulary has removed an initialism here. Please use plain English instead, for example, "unbiased" or "neutral" ) — because it only summarizes one side.
