 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Linktext (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
 | This template is used on approximately 19,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
| Linking and page manipulation |
|---|
The {{Linktext}} template creates inline links to Wiktionary by default for each word separately to a page that matches that word, within the supplied text. Other wikis can be specified and thus interlanguage Wikipedias or interwiki links can be created.
Interlanguage links in general are links from a page in one Wikipedia in one language to a page in another Wikipedia in another language.
Usage
[edit]pref
[edit]The default target that this template links to is Wiktionary. To change the target, set the parameter |pref= to another sister wiki’s code (see list of sister wikis and their codes and list of Wikipedias and codes). For example, |pref=c for Commons, or |pref=th for Thai Wikipedia. To link to a foreign language Wiktionary, set to wikt:de or whatever {{lang}} code.
n1, n2, n3, etc.
[edit]Use the arguments |n1, |n2, |n3, up to |n20, to specify words that should not be linked. Regular spaces will be removed from the beginning and end of these; if you must have spaces, use   instead.
If you want to have a delimiter, such as ", ", appear between links, specify the delimiter with |lim=.
You should specify the language code with |lang= (rationale explained here).
This is not required if it is used inside a template that specifies the language, such as Template:Zh.
Note: Do not add this template everywhere. For some reason, this template is frequently used in articles containing CJK terms, but this is not recommended. Use this template only when a link to Wiktionary is really needed.
Examples
[edit]{{Linktext|This| is| a| test}}
{{Linktext|This| is|n2= not| a| test}}
The following links to the German Wiktionary:
{{Linktext|Das | Ewig-Weibliche| zieht| uns |hinan|pref=wikt:de}}
Also can be used to wikt-link individual Chinese characters:
Examples of result of specifying "lang" (differences in characters explained here and here):

| 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]]}}.

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.)
Wiktionary-related userboxes:
- {{User Wiktionary}}: "This user has a page on Wiktionary" box.
- {{User admin Wiktionary}}: "This user is an administrator on Wiktionary" box.
