- Start the Wiktionary redirect article, using the Article Wizard if you wish, or add a request for it; but please remember that Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
 | This template should not be substituted. |
| This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article. |
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.
See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects § Soft redirects from Wikipedia to a sister project for further guidance on the use of such templates.
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.

Where used
Other templates linking to Wiktionary
| 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]]}}.
