Module:Wikt-lang
This module is used by
{{Wikt-lang}}
. It is inspired by the templates {{m}} and {{l}} and their associated modules on Wiktionary. It has a Wiktionary link function that links to the correct section of the Wiktionary entry, and applies correct language formatting and italics. The language-tagging function does most of what {{Lang}} does, except that italics can't be customized and categories aren't added.
The module uses Module:Wikt-lang/data to retrieve the language name for a language code, and to perform the necessary entry-name replacements (for instance, removing macrons from Latin entry names). These are unfortunately not automatically retrieved from Wiktionary's Wikt-lang data modules. For language codes that do not have a name
value in this module, the language name is fetched with mw.language.fetchLanguage
. When mw.language.fetchLanguage
does not fetch the correct language name (or any language name at all), please add it to Module:Wikt-lang/data, and similarly when the correct entry name is not generated, please add the entry name replacements to the module.
