Parameters

[edit]
name
The term goes here. If left empty, it defaults to the Wikipedia article's title.
image
You can add a relevant notable image that demonstrates the use of the word here. Users should be cautious that an image is *not* necessary for this infobox and it might be better off to just leave it *without* an image than to add a unnecessary image (even if relevant to the topic) just for the sake of it. Use judgement.
alt
Alt text for the image goes here.
caption
The image caption is added here.
etymology
The etymology of the term goes here. Users should keep it bried and avoid providing the info on the etymology in prose form. **Sources should be cited**.
language
The language the term is from goes here. Perferably but optionally the language should be probably wikilinked. **If the term is from English, this should be left empty**.
pronunciation / pron
The pronunciation of the term goes here. It should be written in IPA. If the term is in English, pronunciation respelling is probably okay as well.
meaning
The meaning of the term goes here.
literal / lit
The meaning of the term in a literal sense goes here. This is useful for swear words like motherfucker, shit, etc.
figurative / fig
The meaning of the term when used by people goes here. Words like the aforementioned swear words apply as great examples.
