-The {{template|dict}} addition looks ok, though I'll probably still be using the existing {{template|wiktionary}} one, myself, as it's fairly obvious what-and-where it deals with in the editing source. (It's one of the reasons I prefer not to see {{template|fact}}, in place of the {{template|Citation needed}} one, though that's aliased from one to the other anyway, as with abbreviations like "cn" and case-alternatives like "Citation Needed", "citation needed", etc.) You could have a look to see if the two types differ, of course, and then set yours up as a quick-redirect to the latter, after making that the "best of all features from both" if applicable.... ;) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.123|172.70.85.123]] 19:00, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Or vice-versa, but I would prefer for the often-used one to remain the primary for various reasons.
