This template makes a link in a box to a Wiktionary page. Wiktionary entries include definitions, etymology, and pronunciation, as well as synonyms, antonyms, and related terms.
Usage
{{Wiktionary}}
If no parameter is supplied, the current page name in lower case will be the target. Please check whether it is correct.
You can also use:
{{Wiktionary|1st|2nd|...|10th}}(one up to ten parameters, see Template Data below)
Linking to a search page
For internal link to Wiktionary search on a specific word, this code may be used:
[[wikt:Special:Search/search word|text to show]]
Placement
The template may be placed anywhere, such as the External links section, the beginning of the article, or in the article's etymology section if one exists. It may also be placed inline.
On disambiguation pages, place this template at the TOP of the page (on the first line of the edit screen). This is in accord with MOS:DABFIRST.
See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects for some recommendations about the best choice of template for various situations.
This template may be floated to the left by use of |position=left. The default and usually recommended position is to the right.
