{{init}}

This template makes it easy to show that a term is an initialism of another term in the same language.

This template should be used in the etymology section of a word page.

Usage

All you need is the language code the etymology belongs to and the term that has been initialized.

{{init|ryn|vaenynt|t=new year}}

Generates the following:

Initialism of vaenynt (“new year”)

And would automatically add the category Category:Riyan initialisms

|alt=: Optionally specifies an alternative text to show on the term's link.

|pos=: Optionally specifies a part of speech to show with the gloss of the term.

|nocap=: If provided with a true value, e.g. |nocap=1, then the text will not start with a capital letter. This is useful when this template is used within a sentence in the etymology section of a page.

|notext=: If provided with a true value, e.g. |notext=1, then it will not display any text before the term at all.

|nocat=: If provided with a true value, e.g. |nocat=1, then no categories will be added to the page.
