Documentation for Template:def-uncertain. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

edit

This template is for use with terms whose meaning is uncertain (as is common with barely attested ancient languages.) It adds the page to Category:Language terms with uncertain meaning. The possible meanings should follow as subsenses.

Parameters

edit
|1=
the language code.
|nohypothesis=1 or |nh=1
when no credible hypothetical meaning has been suggested, and thus there are no subsenses. This omits the text Possibilities include:.
|undetailed=1
when the general meaning is deductible due to the context that the word appears in (e.g.: "an animal", "a herb") but further details are disputed. The general meaning should be placed immediately preceding the template, on the same definition line.
|nocat=1
prevents the page from being added to Category:Language terms with uncertain meaning.
