Předłoha:afiks/dokumentacija
This template shows the parts (morphemes) that make up a word, for use in etymology sections. Although it is called affix, it can be used for compounds too, like {{compound}}
. It uses Module:affix and Module:affix/templates as a back-end.
To create the category pages, such as Category:English terms suffixed with -ed, add {{auto cat}}
to the page.
Examples
wobdźěłaćBasic examples:
{{af|en|complete|-ness}}

→ afrkaanski{{af|en|volley|ball}}
→ afrkaanski
In foreign languages:
1. For Předłoha:m+, which can be viewed as being composed of m, an interfix m and an augmentative suffix m, use the following:
- {{af|pt|avião<t:plane>|-z-|-ão<pos:augmentative suffix>}}
which generates
This can equivalently be written using separate parameters (the older way of doing things) like this:
{{af|pt|avião|t1=plane|-z-|-ão|pos3=augmentative suffix}}
2. The Portuguese medical term m can be viewed as being composed directly from Předłoha:m+ using the Portuguese privative (i.e. expressing "lack of") suffix m and the abstract noun suffix m. Write this as follows:
- {{af|pt|a-<id:privative>|grc:χρῶμα<t:color>|-ia}}
which generates
In this case, there are multiple Portuguese prefixes spelled m, with different origins and meanings. To identify the privative prefix specifically, we use the <id:...>
modifier (see {{senseid}}).
3. The Italian relational adjective m was constructed directly from the Předłoha:m+ based on its stem lītor- (as found for example in the genitive singular m). Write this as follows:
{{af|it|la:[[lītus|lītoris]]<t:shore>|-aneo}}
which generates
The use of the bracketed expression allows us to display the accusative singular form while linking to the lemma form (the nominative singular). This could also be implemented using the <alt:...>
modifier.
4. The Portuguese toponym m is composed of two words, literally meaning "New Scotland". This can be written as follows:
{{af|pt|nova<pos:feminine of {{m|pt|novo|t=new}}>|Escócia<t:Scotland>}}
which generates
Here, we use the <pos:...>
("part of speech") modifier to display the grammatical derivation of the word m. This example shows that arbitrary template code can be embedded inside an inline modifier.
5. For the Japanese term m, the following is an actual etymology:
Appears to be {{af|ja|sort=こな|粉<tr:ko><t:powder><pos:see above>|<alt:な><tr:na><pos:suffixing element, meaning unclear>}}.
This generates
- Appears to be afrkaanski.
The use of the <alt:...>
modifier with an empty term serves to prevent the term from being linked. The |sort=
parameter is needed in general with any Japanese templates that generate categories, because the sort key for this language cannot be automatically generated. (It is based on the pronunciation of the term, and many Japanese terms have multiple pronunciations.)
Parameters
wobdźěłać|1=
- The language code. See Wiktionary:Languages.
|2=
,|3=
etc.- The parts of the terms to show. Either:
- At least one of the provided parts must begin and/or end with a hyphen (prefix, suffix, interfix);
- or there must be two or more parts (it may be a compound, with or without prefixes, suffixes, interfixes).
- A term can begin with a language code followed by a colon. This overrides the default provided by
|1=
. When this is provided, the language name is displayed before the part, and a derivational category is also added to the entry. This is used for the occasional term which was directly affixed at the time of borrowing, and for which no native base form existed at the time, such as m. |pos=
- The part of speech to include in the category names, in plural form. Defaults to
terms
. This is separate from (and conceptually very different from) the|posN=
parameters, which specify clarifying parts of speech or similar descriptive text to display in parentheses after individual terms, next to the gloss. |lit=
- The literal meaning of the overall term. This is separate from the
|litN=
parameters, which specify literal meanings of individual parts. |sort=
- The sort key to use when placing the entry in categories. This is rarely needed, as the default generated sort key is usually correct.
|sc=
- The script code. See Wiktionary:Scripts. This is rarely needed as the script can generally be automatically detected. This is separate from the
|scN=
parameters, which specify script codes for individual parts in languages distinct from the overall language specified using|1=
. |nocat=1
- Do not add categories to the entry.
|type=
- Type of compound, e.g. bahuvrihi or alliterative. See #Compound subtypes below. If this parameter is given, extra text is generated before the listed parts (e.g. Bahuvrīhi compound of FOO + BAR), and the page is placed in an additional category (e.g. Category:Hindi bahuvrihi compounds).
|nocap=1
- Do not capitalize the first letter of the extra text generated by
|type=
. |notext=1
- When
|type=
is used, do not generate the extra text that is normally placed before the listed parts. The page will still be placed in the additional type-specific category unless|nocat=1
is given.
The following parameters are available for each matching part in the numbered/positional parameters. The N
must be replaced by the corresponding part index. For example, for the second part (positional parameter 3), use 2 for N
. Most of these parameters correspond directly to the equivalent parameters in the standard {{l}}
(and {{m}}
) template.
|altN=
- The alternative display form. Equivalent to the third parameter of
{{l}}
. |tN=
- A gloss to show after the part. Equivalent to the fourth parameter of
{{l}}
. The parameter|glossN=
is deprecated for this purpose. |trN=
- The transliteration, as in
{{l}}
. |tsN=
- The transcription, in languages where the transliteration and transcription differ markedly, as in
{{l}}
. |gN=
- The gender (multiple comma-separated genders may be specified for a given part).
|idN=
- The sense id, as in
{{l}}
. As distinguished by mere linking templates, the affix template, categorizing terms by affix, also adds the sense id to the category name to distinguish various purposes of the same affix shape, hence the sense id in the dictionary entry for the affix should have a reasonable name in respect to this categorization. Changes the category name fromlanguage name terms affixed with affix
tolanguage name terms affixed with affix (value of id parameter)
. |posN=
- The part of speech label to show after the part, as in
{{l}}
. If this parameter containspatronym(ic)
, the entry will be added to a language's patronymic category. If this parameter containsdiminutive
and the|pos=
parameter is defined, the entry will be added to a diminutive part-of-speech category. For instance, the parameter values|pos=noun
and|pos2=diminutive suffix
will add an entry to the language's diminutive nouns category. |litN=
- The literal meaning to show after the part, as in
{{l}}
. |qN=
- Qualifier text to display before the part, in parens and normally italicized.
|qqN=
- Qualifier text to display after the part, in parens and normally italicized.
|langN=
- The language code to use for this particular part. This overrides the default provided by
|1=
. When this is provided, the language name is displayed before the part, and a derivational category is also added to the entry. This is used for the occasional term which was directly affixed at the time of borrowing, and for which no native base form existed at the time, such as m. |scN=
- The script code to use for this particular part. This overrides the default provided by
|sc=
.
Inline modifiers
wobdźěłaćAll of the per-term parameters described above can alternatively be specified as inline modifiers, using a syntax like детекти́в<tr:dɛtɛktív><t:detective>
to specify modifiers such as transliterations, glosses and qualifiers. In this example, for the Russian term m, the manual transliteration dɛtɛktív and gloss "detective" are given. Specifically, the following modifiers are recognized; see the above documentation for more information on the exact meaning of each modifier.

Examples
wobdźěłaćThe following:
From {{af|pt|Patrícia|t1=Patricia|pos1=given name|-inha|pos2=diminutive suffix}}.
can be equivalently written as follows using inline modifiers:
From {{af|pt|Patrícia<t:Patricia><pos:given name>|-inha<pos:diminutive suffix>}}.
Both produce the following:
From afrkaanski.
Note how the use of inline modifiers frees you from having to make sure the numbers of indexed parameters like |t1=
, |pos2=
correctly line up with the terms they are referring to.
Categories
wobdźěłaćThe template will automatically categorize the entry based on the types of affixes it sees.
- If a part begins with a hyphen, it is a suffix.
- If a part ends with a hyphen, it's a prefix.
- If a part has a hyphen at both ends, it's an interfix.
This behavior can be disabled by prefixing an entry with ^
. This should be used, for example, for Proto-Indo-European roots, which are conventionally written with a trailing hyphen but aren't prefixes.
What is considered a hyphen depends on the specified language, so it can also support language-specific types of hyphen. In particular, the Hebrew and Arabic scripts have their own hyphen script-specific character (which has the correct right-to-left behavior).
Some languages (e.g. most East Asian languages) don't use hyphens with affixes. For these languages, you should still add a regular hyphen (-
) to the affix as appropriate, but the term will be displayed and linked without a hyphen.
Compound subtypes
wobdźěłaćThe |type=
parameter can be used to specify the subtype of compound when {{affix}}
is used to specify the parts of a compound. For example, if |type=bahuvrihi
is given (or |type=bahu
or |type=bv
), extra text Bahuvrīhi compound of is generated before the listed parts (where the word bahuvrīhi links appropriately to the appendix, with an explanation of what this term means). In addition, the page is placed in a type-specific category, e.g. Category:Hindi bahuvrihi compounds if the language in question is Hindi (code hi
).
The parameter |nocap=1
can be used to disable capitalization of the first letter of the extra text generated, and |notext=1
can be used to suppress the extra text entirely. Using |type=
along with |notext=
is still useful because of the extra type-specific category that the page is placed in. It's also possible to use |type=
without any parts, e.g. {{affix|hi|type=bahuvrihi}}
. This generates just the extra text (without the word of after it), and places the page in the type-specific category.
The following types are currently supported:
