Usage[golygu]

Use this template to indicate definitions which are only used in a restricted context, as described in Wiktionary:Context labels. A label is placed before the definition, such as:

# {{context|AU|slang}} An [[insidious]] person.
  1. Nodyn:i An insidious person.

This template provides consistency. The same visual result could be achieved with simpler formatting; however, context helps to ensure that the same labels are used across the project. For instance, {{context|math}} and {{context|maths}} both produce the same result, expanding to Nodyn:i. (Technically, this is because the templates {{math}} and {{maths}} redirect.)

Use of a context label also provides automatic categorization. For instance, the example above is categorized as Australian English and Slang. Likewise, any page with a context of math or maths will be automatically placed in category Mathematics. However, these templates should not be used merely for categorization. It is still preferable to list a [[Category: ]] when there is no specific context for a term.

Regions are meant to indicate where a term is used, not to specify location of an entity. For instance, the Sphinx in Giza should not be labeled Egypt. Rather, that's part of the definition. Also note that time and space are not contexts. The word “week” is understood to mean seven days whether one is discussing war or widgets or the weather, in speech or song or storybook.
