Parameters

Parameter	Remarks
1st parameter	mandatory: The Word of the Day, which should be one of the lemmas (main entries) in Wiktionary.
2nd parameter	mandatory: The part of speech of the word. It is suggested that you use the following abbreviations: adj adjective interj interjection prep preposition proverb proverb adv adverb n noun pron pronoun v verb conj conjunction phrase phrase proper n proper noun
3rd parameter	mandatory: The definition of the word. If the word has numerous definitions, choose some of them to highlight. You may wish to use "[...]" to indicate omissions. The number "1." will be automatically inserted before the first definition, but you will need to add "#" before second and subsequent definitions. Do not include any usage examples or quotations.
4th and 5th parameters	mandatory: The 4th parameter should be the month spelled out (e.g., "January"), and the 5th parameter should be the day of the month indicated as a number with no leading zero (e.g., "1").
6th parameter or maoni	A comment about the word; for example, the reason why the word was selected to be featured on a particular date.
sauti	The name of an audio file indicating how the word is pronounced. The template will try to default to files in the following formats: Sw-[entry].oga. Sw-[entry].ogg. Sw-[entry].mp3. Sw-[entry].wav. Sw-[entry].flac. If these files do not exist, then no link to an audio file will be displayed, unless a filename is specified using the parameter like this: |sauti=Ming'okoSound.ogg. However, it is strongly recommended that you name and upload audio pronunciation files in the standard format starting with Sw-. To suppress an audio file which exists, use |sauti=hapana.
