| Template | Alias | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| {{Wiktionary}} | {{wikt}} | Makes a box. |
| {{Wiktionary pipe}} | {{wtp}} | Ditto. Allows a piped link. |
| {{See Wiktionary}} | A disambiguation hatnote type. Useful if the article title is a generic name, but the content differs from it. For example, Tryout is an article about a journal, and this template is used to link to "tryout" page in Wiktionary. | |
| {{Wiktionary-inline}} | {{wti}} | Can be used in the "External links" section, by making a one-line navigator. Not inline in the usual sense. |
| {{Wiktionary redirect}} | {{wtr}} | Makes a soft redirect. |
| {{Wiktionary category 2}} | {{wtc}} | Similar to {{wikt}}, but links to a category in Wiktionary. |
| {{Wiktionary category}} | Ditto, more verbose type. | |
| {{Linktext}} | Turns each of consecutive words into an Wiktionary link, or any other interwiki / interlang link. Example: {{linktext|táłtłʼááh|adijiłii}} → táłtłʼááh adijiłii | |
| {{wt}} | Links to a language-specific section of a Wiktionary entry. Deprecated (discussion log). | |
| {{wikt-lang}} | Applies a language tag to a word, and links to that language's section of the Wiktionary entry on the word, much like the {{m}} and {{l}} templates on Wiktionary. For instance, {{wikt-lang|en|be|was}} yields was, and is equivalent to {{lang|en|[[wikt:be#English|was]]}}. |
