This template can be used on Wiktionary entry pages to create a box containing examples that illustrate the entry.
The template should usually be placed immediately after the part of speech header (for example, ===Noun===
) and before the definitions in an entry. If you place the template next to the appropriate definition in a list of definitions, it will break the numbering of the definitions.

)|justify=
