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. For example, on the page physics, a bare invocation of {{pedia}}
like this:
* {{pedia}}
displays as follows:
On the French page spoiler, an invocation like this:
* {{pedia|spoiler (aéronautique)|lang=fr}}
displays as follows:
|1=
|2=
|1=
.|lang=
en
for the English Wikipedia. NOTE: This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. See discussion below.|sc=
|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
|nodot=1
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.

Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
wikipedia page name | 1 | The first parameter is used to link to page whose name isn't identical to that of the Wiktionary entry. This can be left empty to use the pagename. | String | optional |
lang | lang | The lang parameter is used to link to an article in a non-English project; if provided, it should be set to the language code used in interwiki links, which is usually (or always?) the first part of the article's domain name. For example, a link to an article on the French Wikipedia (fr.wikipedia.org) would set lang=fr. | String | optional |
