Wiktionary Link? edit

Thanks, Ivanvector, for pointing out MOS:WTLINK regarding the accepted location for Wiktionary links. Though, I am left wondering - why do we have a link to the Wiktionary page in the first place? WTLINK starts off with When a dictionary definition should be included (see Wikipedia:Disambiguation § What not to include)... rather than writing a text entry, create a cross-link to Wiktionary However, at Wikipedia:Disambiguation § What not to include, all it says is A disambiguation page is not a list of dictionary definitions. A short description of the common general meaning of a word can be appropriate for helping the reader determine context. Otherwise, there are templates for linking the reader to Wiktionary... In neither of these pages do I see an explanation of when or why to include a Wiktionary link.

Looking at the Wiktionary pages, it seems they largely reiterate what's in the two main-topic articles, with nothing added. So, could this link to Wiktionary be removed? PhotogenicScientist (talk) 00:39, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
