Help:Synonyms and Antonyms

This is a new feature and might have errors in it. If you spot one, please report it on Wiktionary:Simple talk

The synonyms and antonyms of an word means the words that have the same and opposite meaning of the original word. However, different definitions of the word have different synonyms and antonyms. Therefore, this new feature is designed to keep things simple by showing the synonyms in a collapsible box under the original definition.

This feature was implemented on March 4, 2011. Many thanks to Brett and others from the English Wiktionary.

How it works

This new feature uses Javascript to have the collapsible box. If you have Javascript disabled, there is a high chance of you not being able to view the synonyms and antonyms of the word.

This feature works by adding {{synonyms}} and {{antonyms}} after the definition. These templates allow you to add up to 15 synonyms and antonyms. After saving the page, the page would display "[synonyms ▼]" or "[antonyms ▼]" after the definition. Clicking on it would result in the synonyms and antonyms to be displayed underneath the definition.

Bugs

• {{synonyms}} and {{antonyms}} must be added after the definition, not on a new line.
