![]() | Uses Lua: |
This template creates usage examples for prefix entries in the format prefix- + word → prefixed word. More complex entries are also possible, e.g.:
- prefix- + word1 + word2 → prefixed word
- prefix1- + word1 → prefixed word 1 + -suffix2 → suffixed word 2
- word1 (qualifier) + word2 → combined word
Parameters
[edit]- This template takes almost exactly the same parameters as
{{affixusex}}
and its shortcut{{afex}}
; see the documentation of that template for more information. There are only slight differences between the two:
- When
{{prefixusex}}
/{{prefex}}
is used, the parameter|altaff=
can also be named|altpref=
, for compatibility purposes. - When interpolating a prefix before the first component (taken from the
|altaff=
parameter or the page name),{{affixusex}}
checks that the prefix being inserted actually looks like a prefix (i.e. it ends with a hyphen and doesn't begin with a hyphen) before being interpolated.{{prefixusex}}
does not make this extra check. This may matter in languages where prefixes are not normally followed by a hyphen (e.g. East Asian languages), or are followed by a different character (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic). For Latin-script languages, it usually doesn't matter.
In practice, these are very minor differences, and it is recommended to use {{affixusex}}
/{{afex}}
in all circumstances; {{prefixusex}}
and {{suffixusex}}
are maintained largely for compatibility.
