{{tsh|wikt|wt}}
=== Purpose ===
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. See also [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary]].

=== Usage ===
:<code>{&#123;Wiktionary&#125;}</code>

If no parameter is supplied, the current page name will be the target, but ''the first letter is turned to lower case''. '''Check''' whether it is correct.

You can also use:

:<code>{&#123;Wiktionary|1st|2nd|...|5th&#125;}</code> (one up to five parameters, see Template Data below)

{{Wiktionary|Canonical}}

=== Linking to a search page ===
For internal link to Wiktionary search on a specific word, this code may be used:

:<code>[[<nowiki />wikt:Special:Search/''search word''|''text to show'']]</code>

=== Placement ===
The template may be placed anywhere, such as the <em>External links</em> section, the beginning of the article or in the article's etymology section if one exists.

On [[WP:disambiguation|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:WTLINK]].

See [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects]] for some recommendations about the best choice of template for various situations.
