Usage

This template is used to submit an entry to the verification process, when there is doubt whether it qualifies according to the criteria for inclusion.

To use this template:

1. Add {{rfv|xx|optional reason here}} to an entry. The language code is required to ensure that it goes to the correct subpage of RFV.
2. Start a new discussion on Wiktionary:Requests for verification, using the (+).

If the RFV could do with attention from someone versed in a particular field, add the parameter topic=[topic]; this will add the page (automatically) to Category:Entries needing topical attention and (eventually, manually) to the list at Wiktionary:Entries needing topical attention.

Please see the opening section of Wiktionary:Requests for verification before using this template in an entry and listing the entry there.

Parameters

|1= (required)

The language code of the term needing verification. See Wiktionary:List of languages.

|2=

An optional comment to be displayed in the request message.

|fragment=, |section=

The section of Wiktionary:Requests for verification/English (for English terms) or Wiktionary:Requests for verification/Non-English (for terms in other languages) to link to; this goes into the URL, after the pound sign. Defaults to the page name.

|sort=

The sort key for the page; rarely needs to be specified.

|nocat=1

Disable categorization of this page.

|topic=

If given, add this page to Category:Entries needing topical attention and (eventually, manually) to the list at Wiktionary:Entries needing topical attention. Also add the specified param value to a CSS span id contained in the request message.

This template adds the page to the following categories (where LANG is the language whose code is specified using |1=):

• Category:Requests for verification in LANG entries
• Category:Entries needing topical attention (if |topic= is given)
• Category:rfv with topic (if |topic= is given; in all namespaces)
