Template:no entry/documentation

Usage

This template is intended to create placeholders for terms which, while possibly valid, do not meet CFI. This includes things such as people's names, common list words or dictionary-only words, and fictional words. Its appearance is designed to resemble Mediawiki:Noarticletext, except in namespaced pages where a generic text is used. This template can even be used when a string does not merit an entry in one language (but is e.g. a common dictionary-only word in that language), but does merit an entry in another language; abnodate illustrates how such entries can be formatted.

Parameters

|1= (required)

The language code of the nonexistent entry. See Wiktionary:List of languages.

|2= (optional)

The entire link to where more information can be found, including brackets and any piping. For example, [[w:Newton|Newton]] or [[Appendix:Phobias|triphobia]].

|3= (optional)

Override the name of the associated Citations: page. Set to - to hide the line about the Citations: page.

|because= (optional)

May be set to unattested, fictional, onlydict, or rfd to choose a more specific message explaining why there is no entry.

The helper templates Template:in wikipedia, Template:in wikiquote, Template:in appendix and Template:in glossary exist and can be used with this template.
