Template:prefix/documentation

	Documentation for Template:prefix.
	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Uses Lua:

• Module:affix/templates

	Preferably, use {{affix}}.
	Consider using {{affix}} instead of this template. {{affix}} works similarly to this template but is more flexible, and makes the prefix clearer by using a hyphen after the prefix.

This template is used in the etymology section. Use

{{prefix|language code|prefix|root}}

where prefix is the prefix, excluding hyphen, and root is the root of the term. For instance, a simple etymology of undo could be created with:

{{prefix|en|un|do}}

which evaluates to:

un- +‎ do

|sc=

Script code. See Wiktionary:Scripts

|t1=, |t2=

Glosses

|tr1=, |tr2=

Transliteration of word 1 and word 2 respectively (for non-Latin scripts)

|alt1=, |alt2=

Alternate text to display instead of the links.

|pos1=, |pos2=

Part-of-speech information. Additional unquoted explanatory text, coming after the transliteration and gloss.

|id1=, |id2=

Sense ids

|nocat=1

Suppresses categorization

{{prefix|la|in|fīnītus}}

gives the ouput:

in- +‎ fīnītus

If prefixes or words are written in non-Latin scripts, transliteration parameters may need to be added.

{{prefix|ru|с|tr1=s|t1=(along) with|путник|tr2=putnik|t2=traveller}}

gives the output

с- (s-, “(along) with”) +‎ путник (putnik, “traveller”)
