Template:Wiktionary redirect

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template creates a soft redirect to Wiktionary.

Do not place it on every possible word. Soft redirects to Wiktionary are to dictionary definitions, and generally Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

Only use it when:

There is no scope for a Wikipedia article at this title, and
There is no other Wikipedia page to which this would be an appropriate redirect, and
There is a relevant entry in Wiktionary, and
Readers search for it on Wikipedia.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.

Use

You can use {{subst:long comment}} to prevent a page thus redirected from being listed on Special:Shortpages.

{{Wiktionary redirect}} {{subst:long comment}}: Provides a soft redirect to the Wiktionary page, using the current page's name, but the first letter is turned to lower case. Check if the case is appropriate.

{{wtr|sophisticated}} {{subst:long comment}}: Pass a parameter to specify the link target.

{{wtr|Category:English idioms|many=yes}}: Pass |many=yes to link to lists or categories on Wiktionary.

{{wtr|mokkori|italic=yes}}: Pass |italic=yes to comply with MOS:FOREIGNITALIC for foreign-language words.

This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Redirects to Wiktionary.

Wiktionary link templates
Template	Alias	Explanation
{{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
{{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]]}}`.

Moving a non-encyclopedic entry to Wiktionary:

Markup:

[[wikt:ᐁᕕᖃ]] → wikt:ᐁᕕᖃ
[[wikt:粘菌|'myxomycete' in Japanese]] → 'myxomycete' in Japanese (You can use a pipe as usual.)
[[wikt:curcubeu|]] → curcubeu (You can hide "wikt:" by a pipe trick.)
