Template:dict

A template to make a link to a Wiktionary entry.

Usage

• {{dict}} by itself links to the Wiktionary entry for the page you use the template on, which is probably not useful in the case of the Explain XKCD Wiki:
  • [[Wiktionary:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]
• {{dict|word}} links to the Wiktionary entry for "word":
  • word
• {{dict|word|Display}} prints "Display" which links to the Wiktionary entry for "word":
  • Display

The first character of the link target is automatically lowercased, such that e.g. {{dict|ravioli}} (ravioli) and {{dict|Ravioli}} (Ravioli) both link to the same delicious definition. (Wiktionary entries are case-sensitive. This automatic lowercasing may cause issues in the future, but that's OK because it's not the future yet^{[citation needed]})
