How to create dictionary entries
The Category:Tibetan-English Dictionary uses a slightly more strict format than the other wiki entries:
{{Dictkey|<insert tibetan here>།}} ([[Wyl.]] ''<insert wylie here>'') ''n.'' {{Color|#808080|''Pron.:'' <insert pronunciation here>}}
* <insert description here> {{Dictref|[[<insert source acronym here>]]}}
* <insert other description here> {{Context|[[:Category:<category-name-here>|<same-category-name-here>]]}}
[[Category:Tibetan-English Dictionary]][[Category:<same-category-name-here>]]
The templates used are:
{{Dictkey|<insert tibetan here>།}}
, used to make the Tibetan script of the keyword bigger, example:{{Dictkey|དང་།}}
generates: དང་།{{Color|#808080|''Pron.:'' <insert pronunciation here>}}
, used to colorize the phonetics in gray, example:{{Color|#808080|''Pron.:'' dang}}
generates: Pron.: dang{{Context|[[:Category:<category-name>|<category-name>]]}}
, used to display all entries in a category<category-name>
. It's important to also add the statement[[Category:<category-name>]]
to make the current entry member of this category too.{{Dictref|[[<insert source acronym here>]]}}
, used to insert a source reference, example:{{Dictref|[[PAD]]}}
generates: PAD.
Verbs
To define a verb, use the following template, example: {{dverb|བསམས་པ།|སེམས་པ།|བསམ་པ།|སོམས།|ཐ་དད་པ་|v.t.}}
, this will display the verb tenses (order: past, presence, future, imperative) in a formatted table and put the dictionary entry automatically into category verbs.
Redirects
when using a #redirect
statement, always put the redirecting entry into both the categories Tibetan-English Dictionary
and Dictionary Referral
.
