When using this template, consider starting a discussion about it at the Wiktionary:Tea room.

This may be used to request a definition for a sense not yet given; in this case one should place it on a new definition line and should use the comment parameter to indicate what one knows about the missing sense, unless the {{label}} or other tag supplies sufficient information. (Citations are helpful too. If you have no information to add at all, please use WT:REE instead to request the entry.)
