Template:l-bold/documentation

This template generates a bolded link to an entry in a given language. The template links to a specific language-section on the target page, and applies language-specific formatting. It can also show a number of annotations.

This template uses Module:links as a back-end, so it supports all the features of that module. Please see its documentation for more details.

Parameters
The template takes two required positional parameters, and several optional parameters.


 * The language code of the desired target link. All languages are supported, including constructed and reconstructed ones.
 * The language code of the desired target link. All languages are supported, including constructed and reconstructed ones.


 * The page name to be linked. The template will automatically remove diacritics and punctuation from the page title, according to the  setting in Module:languages, but will keep them in the displayed text. To link to a reconstructed term, such as Proto-Germanic, add * in front of this parameter.
 * The page name to be linked. The template will automatically remove diacritics and punctuation from the page title, according to the  setting in Module:languages, but will keep them in the displayed text. To link to a reconstructed term, such as Proto-Germanic, add * in front of this parameter.


 * Alternate text to display as the link title, if different from the page name. Please do not use this only for adding diacritics or punctuation to the word, as the template can automatically remove these. See above.

 * A gloss or short translation of the word. The parameters  and   are deprecated for this purpose.

 * Script code to use. The template can usually figure out the correct code, so this is rarely needed. When no code is given, the template will try to detect the script based on the (first) characters of the word, and if it fails to detect the script, the language's default script (the first listed in Module:languages) will be used.

 * Transliteration for non-Latin-script words. When no transliteration is given, the template will try to add a default transliteration when possible. For certain languages, automated transliteration will override the value of this parameter. Use  if you don't want a transliteration to be automatically generated (you shouldn't really ever do this in an entry).
