Usage
This template is coined to mark inappropriate use of word "solution" in articles about businesses, their products or something in between. To tag such case put {{solution-inline|date=April 2025}} right after the word "solution". It produces a superscripted notation like the following:
- ABC, Inc. is a multinational information technology company providing software solutions[PR slang] in vanguard growth markets.
Another, harsher and potentially provoking wording of the template can be enabled with |alt=yes parameter:
- ABC, Inc. is a multinational information technology company providing software solutions[using PR solvent?] in vanguard growth markets.
