Usage

The template {{defn}} is used in template-structured glossaries to create definitions of terms. It is a wrapper for <dd>...</dd>, the description list definition HTML element. The template has a mnemonic redirect at {{dd}}.

Basic usage:

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".
خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".
خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".
خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".

Links, inline templates, reference citations, wikimarkup styles, etc., can be applied to the definition. Technically, the |1= part is optional if the content of the definition does not contain the "=" character, but as any editors can add content, including templates with this character in them, it is always safest to explicitly name the parameter. The |1= parameter can also be called |defn= for those who don't care for numeric parameters.

  • This will work: خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".
  • This will work: خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".
  • This will fail: خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".

More complex usage might be:

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Check for unknown parameters".

where |no=# gives a leading number for a definition in a list of definitions, and |term=term_id provides the name of the term used in the {{Term}} template to which this definition pertains.

Images, hatnotes and other content

Images, hatnotes and other "add-in" content intended to immediately follow the خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general". must be used at the top of (inside) the first خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general". of the خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".. They cannot be placed between the خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general". and خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general". or it will break the glossary markup. Images can, of course, be placed elsewhere within the خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general"., and bottom-notes like {{more}} can be placed at the ends of but inside the content of خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".s.

{{glossary}}
{{term |1=colour ball |content=colour ball {{anchor|coloured ball|coloured balls|colour|colours|color ball}}}}
{{defn|1=
[[File:Set of Snookerballs.png|thumb|right|150px|A complete set of snooker balls, with six '''colour balls''']]
{{ghat|Also '''coloured ball(s)''', '''colour(s)'''; American spelling '''color''' sometimes also used.}}
In [[snooker]], any of the {{cuegloss|object ball}}s that are not {{cuegloss|red ball|reds}}.
}}
{{glossary end}}
<dt class="glossary " id="خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "delink"." style="margin-top: 0.4em;">colour ball خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "anchor".
A complete set of snooker balls, with six colour balls

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Hatnote inline".

In snooker, any of the object balls that are not reds.

Multiple definitions for one term

If a single خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general". has multiple definitions, they are simply numbered with the |2=parameter explicitly. Think of the parameter as standing for "2nd or later definition". You can also call it |no=, if you prefer (from "No.") Example:

{{glossary}}
{{term|1=blubbermonster}}
{{defn|1=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. |no=1}}
{{defn|1=Consectetur adipisicing elit. |no=2}}
{{glossary end}}
<dt class="glossary " id="خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "delink"." style="margin-top: 0.4em;">blubbermonster
1.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
2.  Consectetur adipisicing elit.

Because of the uneven length of definitions, it is usually more convenient to put the |2= before the |1= description:

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Check for unknown parameters".

or

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Check for unknown parameters".

This is a very robust method, because it permits complex content like block quotations, nested lists, {cross-reference hatnotes, and other block-level markup inside each definition. The definitions can also be independently linked.

Use of a "standard" hatnote with a numbered definition would require manual numbering or it would look weird. But this method is deprecated anyway. An example of forcing it to kinda work:

{{term|1=blackjack|content=blackjack{{anchor|Blackjack}} }}
{{defn     |1={{main|Blackjack}}}}
{{defn|no=1|1=A card game in which players attempt to approach 21 but not exceed it.}}
{{defn|no=2|1=The best possible hand in the game of blackjack, made up of an ace and a card valued at 10 (namely, 10, J, Q, K). }}

It's better to use the {{ghat}} template, for glossary hatnotes, and put it inside the first (or most applicable) definition. This obviates creating a pseudo-definition to hold the hatnote, as shown above. خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general". (which uses Module:Hatnote inline) has some CSS adjustments to work better than {{Hatnote}} and its derivatives, when used inside a definition.

Making the definition independently linkable

HTML5 update:

Most of the restrictions on the content of id have been removed, so id values no longer have to begin with an [a-z][A-Z] alphabetic character, avoid most punctuation marks, or suffer other such limitations. Wikipedia's MediaWiki engine is smart enough to auto-escape any problematic characters, on the fly.

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Check for unknown parameters".To enable a link directly to a specific definition, name the definition with its {{term}} (or it must be the |id=foo value, if any, used in خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".). This must be unique on the page for each term, but should be the same for multiple definitions of the same term). This is done with the خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".'s |term= parameter. This will produce a #-link target ID in the form term-defn#, where the # is the number of the definition (see #Multiple definitions for one term, above), defaulting to "1". Example:
{{glossary}}
{{term|1=blubbermonster}}
{{defn|no=1 |1=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. |term=blubbermonster}}
{{defn|no=2 |1=Consectetur adipisicing elit. |term=blubbermonster}}
{{term|1=snorkelweasel (noun)}}
{{defn|1=Ut enim ad minim veniam |term=snorkelweasel (noun)}}
{{glossary end}}
<dt class="glossary " id="خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "delink"." style="margin-top: 0.4em;">blubbermonster
1.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
2.  Consectetur adipisicing elit.
<dt class="glossary " id="خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "delink"." style="margin-top: 0.4em;">snorkelweasel (noun)
Ut enim ad minim veniam
 HTML output:
<dl class="glossary">
  <dt class="glossary" id="blubbermonster" style="margin-top: 0.4em;"><dfn class="glossary">blubbermonster</dfn></dt>
  <dd class="glossary" id="blubbermonster-defn1">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</dd>
  <dd class="glossary" id="blubbermonster-defn2">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Consectetur adipisicing elit.</dd>
  <dt class="glossary" id="snorkelweasel_(noun)" style="margin-top: 0.4em;"><dfn class="glossary">snorkelweasel (noun)</dfn></dt>
  <dd class="glossary" id="snorkelweasel_(noun)-defn1">Ut enim ad minim veniam</dd>
</dl>

Note that some characters in snorkelweasel (noun)" have been converted on the fly by MediaWikia by the time it sends the ID to the browser as snorkelweasel_.28noun.29-defn1. You can still link to it on this page as #snorkelweasel (noun)-defn1 (view page source and see for yourself – that link has href=#snorkelweasel_.28noun.29-defn1).

The IDs blubbermonster-defn1, blubbermonster-defn2,  and snorkelweasel_(noun)-defn1 are all individually linkable, e.g. as [[Glossary of weird terms#blubbermonster-defn1]]. This is especially useful for cross-references within the glossary, e.g. See also [[#blubbermonster-defn2|"blubbermonster", sense 2]].

To add more than one linkable anchor, use the {{anchor}} template at the beginning of the definition's content:

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Template link general".

Languages

There is no |lang= parameter, as on English Wikipedia all definitions are necessarily in English. For uses of glossary markup for non-glossary purposes in which some content may be in a foreign language, use language templates. E.g. in a list of film title translations formatted using glossary markup:

{{glossary}}
{{term|1=Titles of La Vie en Rose in various languages&nbsp;|content=Titles of ''[[La Vie en Rose]]'' in various languages}}
{{defn|1=French: ''{{lang|fr|La Vie en Rose}}''}}
{{defn|1=English: ''Life in Pink''}}
...
{{glossary end}}

Examples

This shows both a very simple then a rather complex instance:

{{fake heading|A&ndash;M}}
{{glossary}}
{{term|1=applesnorkel}}
{{defn|1=Definition of term 1.}}
{{term|term=arglefarst |content=''{{lang|de|arglefarst}}''{{anchor|argle-farst|argle farst}} }}
{{defn|no=1 |defn=
Beginning of first definition of term 2
{{gbq|1=Block quotation in first definition of term 2.}}
Conclusion of first definition of term 2.
}}
{{defn|no=2 |defn=Second definition of term 2.}}
{{glossary end}}
A–M
<dt class="glossary " id="خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "delink"." style="margin-top: 0.4em;">applesnorkel
Definition of term 1.
<dt class="glossary " id="خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "delink"." style="margin-top: 0.4em;">خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Lang".خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "anchor".
1.  Beginning of first definition of term 2

Block quotation in first definition of term 2.

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Check for unknown parameters". Conclusion of first definition of term 2.
2.  Second definition of term 2.

Applying CSS styles to the definition

The |style= parameter will pass CSS styling on to the <dd> element, e.g. |style=font-family:serif; or whatever. I.e., this styles the definition itself, not the term it applies to, other definitions, or the glossary as a whole. This feature is rarely if ever needed in articles, but can be useful elsewhere for things like matching custom user page style.

Other parameters

The |id= parameter can be used to assign a one-word, case-sensitive ID name to definition. It must be unique on the page. This can be used as a #link target, and could have other metadata uses. See the #Making the definition independently linkable section for how to normally make a definition linkable. Probably the only reason to use this feature is if there are two terms with the same name on the page, which would result in conflicting IDs.

The |class= parameter will pass one or more space-separated CSS classes on to <dd> element, in addition to the automatically included class glossary. There is rarely any reason to do this.
