Template:pedia/documentation

Usage
This template is used in the Further Reading or References section of a Wiktionary entry to link to a Wikipedia article. It displays as a single line, including the link to the article along with text indicating that the article comes from Wikipedia (or from a foreign-language version of Wikipedia if lang is given). It displays identically to R:wp, but takes a slightly different calling convention, with the lang parameter containing the language code of the version of Wikipedia to link to in place of the first numbered parameter.

Parameters

 * 1
 * Wikipedia page to link to. Defaults to the current page title.


 * 2
 * Text to display when linking to Wikipedia. Defaults to 1.


 * lang
 * Language code of the language-specific version of Wikipedia to link to. Defaults to  for the English Wikipedia. NOTE: This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. See discussion below.


 * section
 * Specifies a section to link on Wikipedia.


 * sc
 * Wiktionary script code of the link in 1 (or of the display text in 2, if provided). This is used when displaying the link to the page on Wikipedia. You rarely need to specify this, as it is autodetected. NOTE: This is a Wiktionary script code.


 * <1
 * Italicize the displayed link.


 * 1
 * Suppress the final dot (period/full stop) that is displayed by default.

Language codes
The lang parameter specifies the version of Wikipedia to link to. This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. The two sets of language codes are similar, but there are some critical differences. For example, Wiktionary has a single language code  for Serbo-Croatian, and no language codes for national variants of Serbo-Croatian (Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin). Wikipedia, however, has four separate corresponding variants: Serbo-Croatian, Serbian , Croatian and Bosnian. Wikipedia also has two variants corresponding to Belarusian in Wiktionary: Belarusian per se and Belarusian (Taraškievica). In addition, sometimes the same language has different codes; for example, Cantonese uses  in Wiktionary but   in Wikipedia, and Tarantino uses   in Wiktionary but   in Wikipedia.

Examples
On the page physics, a bare invocation of pedia:



With an alternative page title:



With a section:
