Template:Wiktionary redirect/doc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template creates a soft redirect to Wiktionary.
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Wiktionary redirect. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template should not be substituted. |
This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article. |
Do not place it on every possible word. Soft redirects to Wiktionary are to dictionary definitions, and generally Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
Only use it when:
- There is no scope for a Wikipedia article at this title, and
- There is no other Wikipedia page to which this would be an appropriate redirect, and
- There is a relevant entry in Wiktionary, and
- Readers search for it on Wikipedia.
See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects § Soft redirects from Wikipedia to a sister project for further guidance on the use of such templates.
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.
