Linking to a search page

For internal link to Wiktionary search on a specific word, this code may be used:

[[wikt:Special:Search/search word|text to show]]

Placement

See also: Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects § Where to place links, and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout § Links to sister projects

The template may be placed anywhere, such as the External links section, the beginning of the article, or in the article's etymology section if one exists. It may also be placed inline.

On disambiguation pages, place this template at the TOP of the page (on the first line of the edit screen). This is in accord with .

See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects for some recommendations about the best choice of template for various situations.

This template may be floated to the left by use of |position=left. The default and usually recommended position is to the right.

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}} 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]]}}.

Moving a non-encyclopedic entry to Wiktionary:

  • {{Transwikied to Wiktionary}}, {{Transwiki to Wiktionary Finished}}: Pasted at the top of the talk page by admins.

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.
