Template:m+/documentation

Used to link to a Laenktionary entry.

There are three similar templates for this function, and their different usage should be noted:

• {{l}} should be used for wikilinks in a list. For example, this might be a list of synonyms or derived terms.
• {{m}} should be used within free-form text. For example this might be in the middle of a paragraph on usage or as part of an etymology.
• {{m+}} should be used in the same environment as {{m}} (i.e. free-form text) but where the name of the language is desired.

Usage

{{m+|kil|šeḻē|t=to know}} produces: Kilitic šeḻē (“to know”).

Parameters

|1= (required)

Specifies the language code, e.g kil or lnk-pro.

|2= (required)

Specifies the word that is being linked to, e.g. {{m+|ryn|bhepuíc}} for Riyan bhepuíc.

|3= or |alt=

Specifies the display text to show up instead of the basic word lemma, e.g. {{m+|ryn|bhepuíc|alt=BHEPUÍC}} for Riyan BHEPUÍC.

|4= or |t= or |text=

Specifies an optional gloss to be shown alongisde the word, e.g. {{m+|ryn|bhepuíc|t=december}} for Riyan bhepuíc (“december”).

|anchor= or |a=

Specifies an anchor to jump to. This will override the language name; see {{anchor}} for more information.

|pos=

Specifies an optional part of speech to be shown alongside the word, e.g. {{m+|ryn|bhepuíc|pos=noun}} for Riyan bhepuíc (noun).

When combined with |text=/|t=, these show up together in the brackets, e.g. Riyan bhepuíc (“december”, noun).

Notes

• This template can be used with proto-languages, as it automatically handles the insertion of an asterisk (*) to mark reconstruction and linking to the appendix for the language.

  For example, {{m+|lnk-pro|cel-|céltʰes}} produces Proto-Laenkean *céltʰes.
