Basic usage will output the first sentence from the Wikipedia article followed by a reference to the source:
{{Wikipedia definition|Sun}}→The Sun is the star at the centre of the Solar System.
[1]
If the title is omitted, the title of the current page will be used. If the title is a redirect, it'll be followed:
{{Wikipedia definition|Local star}}→The Sun is the star at the centre of the Solar System.
[2]
If the first sentence is not enough, you can specify the number of sentences (also consider editing Wikipedia to fix it):
{{Wikipedia definition|Sun|sentences=2}}→The Sun is the star at the centre of the Solar System. It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies.

If the page is in a language other than English, this template will get the definition from the corresponding Wikipedia. So for example, if your page is in Spanish, the definition will come from the Spanish Wikipedia.
