All other soft redirects to Wiktionary use the Wiktionary template. That is the appropriate template for soft redirects to Wiktionary. Why is your one redirect different from every other redirect to Wiktionary?

If the "dictionary' template is inappropriate, then how the heck is it appropriate to point to a dictionary in the first place? If the redirect is appropriate, then using the proper form of the template would be appropriate, I would think.

Also, in general, very few pages actually use the generic soft redirect template. Check out Category:Wikipedia soft redirects. The vast majority of soft redirects are not in that category directly, but are rather down in one of the sub-categories, because they use one of the more specific templates that are more appropriate than the generic template. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:00, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
