{{wiktionary| | == Wiktionary is case sensitive == | ||
Unlike this wiki, Wiktionary is ''strictly'' case sensitive. Here, these two things mean the same thing when entered into our search bar: | |||
*gorilla | |||
*Gorilla | |||
However, these two things are quite different: | |||
*[[wiktionary:gorilla]] | |||
*[[wiktionary:Gorilla]] | |||
Because ''most'' pages at Wiktionary are in full lowercase, this template ''forces'' the entire PAGENAME to render in the lower case. This is usually the behaviour we want. But on a page like [[PC Plod]], we'll end up with [[wiktionary:pc plod]], which isn't what we want. | |||
'''Therefore, if you want capital letters to appear, you must override the default, and define the precise page you want, such as {{tlx|wiktionary|PC Plod}}.''' | |||
== Link as close to the definition as possible == | |||
Wiktionary pages have a lot of white space. ''Tons''. And they offer definitions for cognates in other languages. The point of this template is to offer a definition that's relative to the term's use '''in ''Doctor Who'''''. Therefore, in the case of extremely common words with very long Wiktionary pages, you'll want to link to a specific section. For instance, on our page '''[[Frog (insult)]]''', | |||
*{{tlx|wiktionary|frog#Etymology 2}} | |||
is better than just | |||
