Dear All,
When an obscure term is used in a body of text that has no Wikipedia article associated with it, the author of the article, at the moment, has to include the meaning of the word in the article itself. Would it not make sense to have a way of quickly making links to look up a word in Wiktionary, something like {{define|miscellany}}.
Different words will be lost on different people. I've always wanted some kind of javascript extension/tool where one can right-click a word (or hold "D" and left click or something) and a small box will open up with a Wiktionary definition of the word... Perhaps this has already been written.
Most unknown words are technical and should be linked to their specific article.
