Template:Linktext
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
pref
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.
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
{{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:

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:
- {{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.
