This template is designed to generate a link to a specific language-section on the target page.

Usage

Use this template in sections that list entries, such as “Related terms” and “Descendants”, as an alternative to {{term}}, which is used for mentioned terms.

You might also find it useful to link to individual words or subphrases in the head of (idiomatic) phrases, as in: {{head|xx|phrase|head=...}}. See discussion.

As with other Wiktionary link templates, please do not use subst:.

{{{sc}}} (optional): script template to use, if the language's default script is inappropriate
