Template:Wikt-lang generates a link to the correct section of the corresponding Wiktionary entry by automatically determining the correct English Wiktionary entry by removing italics or bolding, and removing or replacing diacritical marks and letters that are not used in entry names on English Wiktionary.
It also adds italics for languages that use the Latin alphabet (see MOS:FOREIGNITALIC). Italics cannot be turned on for languages that use a non-Latin script, but they can be turned off by using the parameter |i=-. This is useful in tables, where italics are often unnecessary.
The template will also link to the Wiktionary Reconstruction: namespace, where entries on reconstructed languages are placed, or to the Appendix: namespace, where some constructed languages have their entries (such as Lojban), if there is data for them in the module, Module:Wikt-lang, at Module:Wikt-lang/data.
Usage
editThis template takes a language code and one or two words, and generates a link to the correct section of the corresponding Wiktionary entry. If two words are provided, it is like a piped link: the first word is the entry name, while the second serves as link text.
{{Wikt-lang|<lang code>|<Wiktionary entry>|<Text displayed>|i}}
The text will be italicized if the text consists of Latin letters or the language code includes the script code Latn, unless italics are turned off with |italics=- or |i=-.
Parameters

|---|---|
| 1 | A code identifying the language of the text, in one of the following forms:
Region and variant subtags are not supported, as it is difficult to support both them and Wiktionary language tags that contain hyphens (such as |
| 2 | Entry to link to on Wiktionary. |
| 3 | Optional. Text displayed, if different from the term being linked to. |
| italic | Optional. Use |italic=no or |italic=- to disable italicization of the text.
