Template:Swastika not Hakenkreuz editnotice

The common English language name for the symbol used by the Nazis is "swastika".

Although in German the symbol is called Hakenkreuz ("hooked cross"), per the Wikipedia policy WP:COMMONNAME, we use the word that is the common name in English, which is "swastika". This is not a comment of the use of the symbol by Hindus, Native American and other cultures, it is merely the name by which English-speaking people know it.

Please do not request that "swastika" be changed to "Hakenkreuz"; your request will be denied.
