This template takes a language code and one or two words, and generates a link to the correct section of the corresponding Wiktionary entry. If two words are provided, it is like a piped link: the first word is the entry name, while the second serves as link text.

{{wikt-lang|en|language|languages}} languages: links to the entry for language

The module automatically determines the correct Wiktionary entry by removing italics or bolding, and removing or replacing diacritical marks and letters that are not used in entry names on Wiktionary.

It also adds italics for languages that use the Latin alphabet (see ). Italics cannot be turned on for languages that use a non-Latin script, but they can be turned off by using the parameter |i=-. This is useful in tables, where italics are often unnecessary.

The template will also link to the Wiktionary Reconstruction: namespace, where entries on reconstructed languages are placed, or to the Appendix: namespace, where some constructed languages have their entries (such as Lojban), if there is data for them in the module.

Only tags consisting of a language subtag, or a language subtag–private use subtag combination that represents a language that hasn't been assigned a language subtag, such as cel-x-proto (Proto-Celtic), are supported. Script, region, or variant subtags are not supported, as it is difficult to support both them and Wiktionary language tags that contain hyphens (such as ine-pro above).

If you try to use this template and get an error message, but can't figure out how to fix it, please go to Module talk:Language and post a message about it.
