Citations

Words can be added for LDL languages based on only one citation, unlike other languages that require three. When a word entry is made based on only one or two citations, the source(s) must be provided along with a statement cautioning the reader of the small number of citations, usually by using the template available for that statement, the LDL template. To use it type {{LDL}}. If only one sense needs the exemption, use {{LDL-sense}}.
