Usage
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.
Parameters
|1=(optional)- Wikipedia page to link to. Defaults to the current page title.
|2=(optional)- Text to display when linking to Wikipedia. Defaults to
|1=.
|lang=(optional)- Language code of the language-specific version of Wikipedia to link to. Defaults to
enfor the English Wikipedia. NOTE: This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. See discussion below.
|section=(optional)- Specifies a section to link on Wikipedia.
|sc=(optional)- Wiktionary script code of the link in
|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(optional)- Italicize the displayed link.
|nodot=1(optional)- Suppress the final dot (period/full stop) that is displayed by default.
Language codes
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.
Examples
On the page physics, a bare invocation of {{pedia}}:
With an alternative page title:
With a section:
* {{pedia|section=Core theories}}
physics § Core theories on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
On the French page spoiler:
* {{pedia|spoiler (aéronautique)|lang=fr}}- spoiler (aéronautique) on the French Wikipedia.Wikipedia fr
