LANGis substituted with the language name. - "Takes inflection tags" means that the template takes inflection tags similarly to
{{inflection of}}. - "Initial capital" means that the first letter displayed is normally capitalized. This can be changed using
|nocap=1. - "Supports
|from=,|from2=, ..." means that the parameters|from=,|from2=, etc. are supported to specify regional context labels that customize the text displayed before the link. - "Supports
|POS=" means that the parameter|POS=is supported to customize the categorization into which the page is placed.
Customization
[edit]In an entry's definition line, a Form-of template states that the entry's word is a particular form of a lemma entry's word, such as its plural or even a misspelling.
Users can customize how these templates' text displays using their account- or browser-level preferences by either selecting the appropriate preference from Wiktionary:PREFS or by adding styles to Special:Mypage/monobook.css as described in Wiktionary:CUSTOM#“Form of” definitions. Here are examples of the latter method:
- To see italicized qualifiers in “form-of” definitions such as:
- Form of word.
- Add:
.use-with-mention { font-style: italic; } .use-with-mention .mention { font-style: normal; }
- To see italicized lemmas in “form-of” definitions such as:
- Form of word.
- Add:
.use-with-mention { font-style: normal; } .use-with-mention .mention { font-style: italic; }
