Removing Wikisaurus-link template

 * Voting on: Performing two actions:
 * Removing from WT:ELE the following text:
 *  The link to a Wikisaurus entry can now be made by using the Template . This throws up a banner with a link to the Wikisaurus entry. For example,
 * Deleting the Wikisaurus-link template while keeping its talk page for the sake of documentation.

 Find this word in Wikisaurus headword
 * Justification:
 * The text proposed here for removal was addeded to WT:ELE without a vote in this edit in May 2006.
 * The template creates a right-floating box with an icon, a box that resembles boxes linking to sister projects such as Wikipedia, Wikisource and Commons. However, Wikisaurus is not a sister project; it is a subproject and a namespace within Wiktionary. Wikisaurus is a lexicographical work tightly integrated into Wiktionary. It is part of Wiktionary located in a dedicated namespace for the sake of information storage convenience: having one place for collection of synonyms for each synonym-set.
 * The currently common way of linking to Wikisaurus is to add "See also Wikisaurus:headword " to synonyms section, to which readers normally come to look for synonyms.
 * The string "* See also Wikisaurus:cat " is short to type; "* " reduces the typing work insignificantly. The same is true of the alternative "* " . Instead of typing, the editor may choose to paste the link repeatedly for the whole synonym set.
 * The template's appearance is this:


 * Note: When the text proposed for removal is removed from WT:ELE, hyperlinking from mainspace to Wikisaurus remains unregulated by WT:ELE, and is open to further adjustment.
