Usage

  • This template is used to created a piped link to a term, so that the first letter of the page name is lowercase, but is displayed as uppercase. It works for all scripts that have a case system. It takes one mandatory parameter |1=, the word to which one wishes to link, and two optional parameters: |2=, which is any additional text to append to the display form (generally a suffix), and |lang=, the language code (see WT:Languages). It can be substituted, using subst: after the initial two curly brackets. If a language code is specified, it links to that language's section of the word; otherwise, it links to the English section.
