Definitions

 * For non-native language definitions, preferably use a gloss -- a one-shot equivalence, eg "Ausfahrt: exit"
 * ...unless, of course, the word has no equivalent in the target language.
 * For native language definitions, a full definition is needed; see the Entry layout and Style guides.

No template
#: Example sentence. #:: Transliteration (only if needed). #:: Translated sentence.
 * 1) Definition

Using templates or
Short form: #:  #:
 * 1) Definition

Long forms: #:
 * 1) Definition

#:
 * 1) Definition

Other useful args
 * |t= -- |translation=
 * |tr= -- |transliteration=
 * |lit= => literal translation.

is the same, but for short examples, such that both example and translation probably fit on a single line.

For same-language definitions (eg English in English wiktionary), leave the language code in, but leave the translation out.

Finally, to request an example sentence:

#:
 * 1) A definition missing a usage example.
