Template:prefix/documentation

Documentation for Template:prefix. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.
Preferably, use {{affix}}.
Consider using {{affix}} instead of this template. {{affix}} works similarly to this template but is more flexible, and makes the prefix clearer by using a hyphen after the prefix.

This template is used in the etymology section. Use

{{prefix|language code|prefix|root}}

where prefix is the prefix, excluding hyphen, and root is the root of the term. For instance, a simple etymology of undo could be created with:

{{prefix|en|un|do}}

which evaluates to:

un- +‎ do

Other arguments edit

|sc=
Script code. See Wiktionary:Scripts
|t1=, |t2=
Glosses
|tr1=, |tr2=
Transliteration of word 1 and word 2 respectively (for non-Latin scripts)
|alt1=, |alt2=
Alternate text to display instead of the links.
|pos1=, |pos2=
Part-of-speech information. Additional unquoted explanatory text, coming after the transliteration and gloss.
|id1=, |id2=
Sense ids
|nocat=1
Suppresses categorization

Examples edit

{{prefix|la|in|fīnītus}}

gives the ouput:

in- +‎ fīnītus

If prefixes or words are written in non-Latin scripts, transliteration parameters may need to be added.

{{prefix|ru|с|tr1=s|t1=(along) with|путник|tr2=putnik|t2=traveller}}

gives the output

с- (s-, (along) with) +‎ путник (putnik, traveller)
