Even my dad (born before WW2) shied away from using "gay"!

Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

@Equinox: Thanks! I assume this was meant for this page, rather than my user page? Adam9007 (talk) 03:06, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Oops yeah. Well moved! Equinox ◑ 03:39, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Usage examples.

Hello, I was looking at debug menu which you recently created. While you will see a wide variety of quotation sections within definition lines, it is good practice to order them chronologically, and to only include one or two examples which best demonstrate usage within the main article. If there are additional examples which show usage over time, or nuances of usage, feel free to add those to the Citations: page for the entry.
