The following documentation is located at Template:interwikt/documentation. ^[edit]

Useful links: subpage list • links • redirects • transclusions • errors (parser/module) • sandbox

Usage

This template can be used in the Further Reading or References section of a Wiktionary entry to link to an entry on another language edition of Wiktionary, similarly to {{pedia}}.

For example, on the page physique, an invocation of {{interwikt}} to the French Wiktionary would look like this:

* {{interwikt|fr}}

which will display as follows:

• physique on the French Wiktionary.Wiktionary ^fr

Parameters

|1=

Required. Language code of the language-specific version of Wiktionary to link to. en should be avoided, as you can just use internal links. NOTE: This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. See discussion below.

|2=

Wiktionary page to link to. Defaults to the current page title.

|3=

Text to display when linking to Wiktionary. Defaults to |2=.

|sc=

Wiktionary script code of the link in |2= (or of the display text in |3=, if provided). This is used when displaying the link to the page. You rarely need to specify this, as it is autodetected. NOTE: This is a Wiktionary script code.

|i=1

Italicize the displayed link.

|nodot=1

Suppress the final dot (period/full stop) that is displayed by default.

Language codes

The |lang= parameter specifies the version of Wiktionary to link to. This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. The two sets of language codes are similar, but there are some critical differences. For example, Wiktionary has a single language code sh for Serbo-Croatian, and no language codes for national variants of Serbo-Croatian (Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin). Wikimedia, however, has four separate corresponding variants: Serbo-Croatian (sh), Serbian (sr), Croatian (hr) and Bosnian (bs). Wikimedia also has two variants corresponding to Belarusian in Wiktionary: Belarusian per se (be) and Belarusian (Taraškievica) (be-tarask). In addition, sometimes the same language has different codes; for example, Cantonese uses yue in Wiktionary but zh-yue in Wikimedia, and Tarantino uses roa-tar in Wiktionary but roa-tara in Wikimedia.
