Template:Wiktionary redirect/doc

This template creates a soft redirect to Wiktionary.

Do not place it on every possible word. Soft redirects to Wiktionary are to dictionary definitions, and generally Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

Only use it when:
 * There is no scope for a Wikipedia article at this title, and
 * There is no other Wikipedia page to which this would be an appropriate redirect, and
 * There is a relevant entry in Wiktionary, and
 * Readers search for it on Wikipedia.

See for further guidance on the use of such templates.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.

Use
You can use to prevent a page thus redirected from being listed on Special:Shortpages.
