---|---|---|
{{Wiktionary}} | {{ wikt }} |
Makes a box. |
{{Wiktionary pipe}} | {{ wtp }} |
Ditto. Allows a piped link. |
{{See Wiktionary}} | A disambiguation hatnote type. Useful if the article title is a generic name, but the content differs from it. For example, Tryout is an article about a journal, and this template is used to link to "tryout" page in Wiktionary. | |
{{Wiktionary-inline}} | {{ wti }} |
Can be used in the "External links" section, by making a one-line navigator. Not inline in the usual sense. |
{{Wiktionary redirect}} | {{ wtr }} |
Makes a soft redirect. |
{{Wiktionary category 2}} | {{ wtc }} |
Similar to {{ wikt }}, but links to a category in Wiktionary.
|
{{Wiktionary category}} | Ditto, more verbose type. | |
{{Linktext}} | Turns each of consecutive words into an Wiktionary link, or any other interwiki / interlang link. Example: {{linktext|táłtłʼááh|adijiłii}} → táłtłʼááh adijiłii
| |
{{ wt }} |
Links to a language-specific section of a Wiktionary entry. Deprecated (discussion log). | |
{{wikt-lang}} | Applies a language tag to a word, and links to that language's section of the Wiktionary entry on the word, much like the {{m}} and {{l}} templates on Wiktionary. For instance, {{wikt-lang|en|be|was}} yields was, and is equivalent to {{lang|en|[[wikt:be#English|was]]}} .
