Add topicUsage
[edit]For use in the Etymology sections of an entry to show component terms from which it was immediately derived in the same language. It is intended to complement {{morph}}.
For example, referentiality can be broken down thus:
- {{derv|en|referential}} ( = ({{morph|en|refer}} + {{term|en|-ence}} or {{morph|en|-ent}}) + {{morph|en|-ial}}) + {{derv|en|-ity}}}
by using this wikitext:
- {{derv|en|referential}} ( = ({{morph|en|refer}} + {{term|en|-ence}} or {{morph|en|-ent}}) + {{morph|en|-ial}}) + {{derv|en|-ity}} OR {{suffix||ity}}
Using {{suffix}} utilizes the existing suffix category system and is preferred at this time. Note the omitted parameter. (Similarly, {{prefix}}.)
Categorization
[edit]This is intended to populate a set of categories with names of the form "Category:[languagename] words derived from: 'referential'[ ('pos')][ Etymology 'etynum'].
The optional pos and etynum parameter put the entry in a category named for the target section within complex entries that may have more than one part of speech or more than one etymology section.
Parameters
[edit]Positional (unnamed) parameters:
- language-code
- entry to link to, usually a lemma, could be a section of an entry
- optional: display (if different from the entry to link to, as an alternative spelling or a non-lemma form or stem)
- optional: gloss (brief specific sense or English translation of the entry or display)
Named parameters:
- sc= (optional) — script template
- tr= (optional) — transliteration
- pos= (optional) — part of speech (for naming category for derived terms location)
- etynum= (optional) — Number of etymology section (for naming category for derived terms location)
