Wiktionary:Todo/Lists/Template language code does not match header/Excluded templates

This page lists templates for which the first parameter DOES NOT have to match the section's own language code.

For example, it is totally fine to put {{t|fr|...}} in an English translations box, or {{m|en|...}} in a Greek etymology.

See also Further exclusions in Translingual sections.

Translation templates

• {{t}}, {{t+}}, {{t-}}, {{t-check}}, {{t+check}}
• {{t-egy}}, {{t-image}}, {{t-needed}}
• {{tt}}, {{tt+}}, {{tt+check}}
• {{ttbc}}, {{not used}}, {{no attested translation}}, {{no equivalent translation}}
• {{trans-see}}, {{trans-top-also}}, {{trans-top-see}}

Wikipedia links

• {{wikipedia}}, {{pedia}}, {{wp}} -- first parameter is a page name, not a language code
• {{lw}} -- first parameter is a Wikipedia language code, can differ from the L2 language

Links and mentions (can be in any language)

• {{l}}, {{link}}
• {{m}}, {{mention}}, {{m+}}
• {{ll}}, {{lang}}, {{xlit}}, {{transterm}}

Descendant links (SHOULD be in a different language!)

• {{desc}}, {{descendant}}
• {{desctree}}, {{descendants tree}}
• {{desc-family}}

Etymology templates which don't categorise

• {{cog}}, {{cognate}}
• {{noncog}}, {{ncog}}, {{nc}}, {{noncognate}}
• {{false cognate}}, {{false cognates}}

Cite templates (the first parameter should actually be a year, not a language code, but in practice the first unnamed parameter will get overridden by the year= named parameter)

• {{cite-book}}, {{cite-journal}}, {{cite-web}}

Language-specific templates that aren't restricted to their own language section

• {{ar-root}}, {{he-root}}, {{sa-root}}, {{syc-root}}, {{syc-root-entry}}
• {{sa-com}}, {{sa-af}} -- note: these DO take a language code as their first parameter...
• {{egy-glyph}}
• {{fa-regional}} -- not entirely sure what this is but I'm skipping it for now

Non-language-specific templates (first parameter is a page name or free text)

• {{vern}}
• {{a}}, {{accent}}
• {{also}}
• {{s}}, {{sense}}
• {{q}}, {{qualifier}}
• {{color}}, {{color panel}}
• {{l-nb}}, {{l-nn}}
• {{SI-unit-abb}}, {{SI-unit-abb2}}, {{SI-unit-abbnp}}
• {{abbr}}
• {{epinew}}
• {{+preo}}

Templates where the part before the hyphen is a language code, but the template has no relation to that language

• {{non-gloss}}, {{non-gloss definition}} -- not Old Norse!
• {{def-date}}
• {{com-ja}}
