Wiktionary:Todo/Lists/Template language code does not match header/Excluded templates

This page lists templates for which the first parameter DOES NOT have to match the section's own language code.

For example, it is totally fine to put {{t|fr|...}} in an English translations box, or {{m|en|...}} in a Greek etymology.

Redirects to the following templates are automatically handled. Furthermore, any template redirects in the following list are followed too.

See also Further exclusions in Translingual sections.
