Usage
When one is unable to supply a satisfactory definition oneself, one should use “{{rfdef|lang|comment}}” to request that some other editor do so; this should be placed on a definition line after any {{label}} or similar tag that may be relevant. 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.)
When used for an English term ({{rfdef|en}}), a different text is displayed:
