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 Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects § Soft redirects from Wikipedia to a sister project 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.
