Usage

This template is used in the Further Reading or References section of a Wiktionary entry to link to a Wikipedia article. It displays a single line, including the link to the article along with text indicating that the article comes from Wikipedia (or from a foreign-language version of Wikipedia if |lang= is given). It displays identically to {{pedia}}, but takes a slightly different calling convention, with the first numbered parameter containing the language code of the version of Wikipedia to link to. This makes it convenient especially for linking to foreign-language Wikipedias. For example, on the French page spoiler, an invocation like this:

* {{R:wp|fr|spoiler (aéronautique)}}

displays as follows:

Parameters

|1=
Language code of the language-specific version of Wikipedia to link to. Defaults to en for the English Wikipedia. NOTE: This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. See discussion below.
|2=
Wikipedia page to link to. Defaults to the current page title.
|3=
Text to display when linking to Wikipedia. Defaults to |2=.
|sc=
Wiktionary script code of the link in |2= (or of the display text in |3=, if provided). This is used when displaying the link to the page on Wikipedia. You rarely need to specify this, as it is autodetected. NOTE: This is a Wiktionary script code.
|i=1
Italicize the displayed link.
|nodot=1
Suppress the final dot (period/full stop) that is displayed by default.

Language codes

Parameter |1= specifies the version of Wikipedia to link to. This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. The two sets of language codes are similar, but there are some critical differences. For example, Wiktionary has a single language code sh for Serbo-Croatian, and no language codes for national variants of Serbo-Croatian (Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin). Wikipedia, however, has four separate corresponding variants: Serbo-Croatian (sh), Serbian (sr), Croatian (hr) and Bosnian (bs). Wikipedia also has two variants corresponding to Belarusian in Wiktionary: Belarusian per se (be) and Belarusian (Taraškievica) (be-tarask). In addition, sometimes the same language has different codes in Wiktionary vs. Wikipedia; for example, Cantonese uses yue in Wiktionary but zh-yue in Wikipedia, and Tarantino uses roa-tar in Wiktionary but roa-tara in Wikipedia.
