Documentation for Template:rfexp. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template generates a box formally asking for expansion of an incomplete page or appendix.

Completeness is a worthy goal. However, the exact information that is lacking is, most certainly, not clear. Therefore, it is always encouraged to provide an explanation wherever {{rfexp}} is used.

Parameters

[edit]
|1= (required)
The language code of the term or appendix needing expansion. See Wiktionary:List of languages. Use und if a single language doesn't apply, e.g. in templates, categories and appendices.
|2=
An optional comment to be displayed in the request message.
|sort=
The sort key for the page; rarely needs to be specified.
|nocat=1
Disable categorization of this page.

This template adds the page to Category:Requests for expansion.

Examples

[edit]
  • {{rfexp|en|more examples of irregular verbs}}
  • {{rfexp|fr|etymologies}}
  • {{rfexp|sv|how to write large numbers}}
  • {{rfexp|und|more translations}}
  • {{rfexp|la|comparison between Latin and Greek}}

Alternatives

[edit]
  • You may always improve any page or appendix by editing it.
  • A common type of edit is changing where information is found, namely by moving, splitting or merging a page. It may require a discussion at WT:RFM beforehand.
  • To propose immediate deletion of a page or appendix that blatantly does not belong to Wiktionary, use {{delete}}.
  • To discuss the possible deletion of a page or appendix that may not belong to Wiktionary, use {{rfd}} and discuss it at WT:RFD (for pages) or WT:RFDO (for appendices).
