This template can be used to provide a quotation from the English Wikipedia. However, please note that according to Wiktionary's attestation standards in its criteria for inclusion, Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites should not be used as sources for quotations. Thus, this template should be used with caution – it should not be used to indicate quotations in dictionary entries, but can be used on the "Citations:" pages of terms that have not yet been created (for example, on "Citations:foo" where "foo" is still non-existent) to gather evidence for the potential future inclusion of those terms in the dictionary.

At the moment, the template does not link to other language Wikipedias.
