Template:m/documentation

Used to link to a Laenktionary entry.

There are two 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.

Usage

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

|2= (required)

|3= or |d= or |display=

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

Notes

• When used for languages marked as proto-languages (i.e reconstructed), an asterisk (*) is added automatically before the word so does not need to be included in the markup.
