Usage

This template is used in the Further Reading or References section of a Wiktionary entry to link to a Wikipedia article. It displays as 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 {{R:wp}}, but takes a slightly different calling convention, with the |lang= parameter containing the language code of the version of Wikipedia to link to in place of the first numbered parameter.

Parameters

|1= (optional)
Wikipedia page to link to. Defaults to the current page title.
|2= (optional)
Text to display when linking to Wikipedia. Defaults to |1=.
|lang= (optional)
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.
|section= (optional)
Specifies a section to link on Wikipedia.
|sc= (optional)
Wiktionary script code of the link in |1= (or of the display text in |2=, 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 (optional)
Italicize the displayed link.
|nodot=1 (optional)
Suppress the final dot (period/full stop) that is displayed by default.

Language codes

The |lang= parameter 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; for example, Cantonese uses yue in Wiktionary but zh-yue in Wikipedia, and Tarantino uses roa-tar in Wiktionary but roa-tara in Wikipedia.

Examples

On the page physics, a bare invocation of {{pedia}}:

* {{pedia}}

With an alternative page title:

* {{pedia|Physics}}

With a section:

* {{pedia|section=Core theories}}

On the French page spoiler:

* {{pedia|spoiler (aéronautique)|lang=fr}}
  • {{wikipedia}}, {{wp}}: a floating box, placed directly under the language heading or relevant part-of-speech heading
  • {{slim-wikipedia}}, {{swp}}: slimmer version of {{wikipedia}}
  • {{R:wp}}: exactly identical to {{pedia}} except that it takes the Wikimedia language code in the first numbered parameter instead of the |lang= parameter
  • {{w}}: plain inline text link to Wikipedia, with the Wikimedia language code in |lang=
  • {{lw}}: plain inline text link to Wikipedia, with the Wikimedia language code in |1=
