Welcome message edit

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.

Module:ky-noun edit

Please test your changes to the module. Category:Pages with module errors is full of errors caused by your changes in this module: "Lua error in Module:string_utilities at line 19: string_utilities.format: 'anyn' not found in table". I have rollbacked your changes. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 15:15, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for rollbacking. Because i dont know how to do that. Almanbet Janışev (talk) 15:44, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Noicon edit

Why are you adding audio files that have no icon? Vininn126 (talk) 15:44, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

I didn't knew that before i discovered this Almanbet Janışev (talk) 14:43, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Language separator edit

When adding a new language to a page that has another language already, you have to separate the entries using ----. Please see the documentation. (There's currently a vote going on to get rid of these separators but currently they are still required.) I've fixed the entries you added. Thanks, tbm (talk) 11:23, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Place name links edit

Please make sure the links to WSJP and PWN both - PWN links should work most of the time. Vininn126 (talk) 17:00, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Template:ky-noun edit

Template:ky-noun is broken in most articles, like кесме, where there are no arguments given to the template. This affects at least a few hundred articles. Kristian-Clausal (talk) 12:30, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

References to inflected forms edit

Hello,

Could you stop making inflected forms with references and usage notes? They are a job for a bot or an accelerated entry creation. Please don't waste your and other editors time.

An entry like this: Льво́ві (Lʹvóvi) is what (maximum) expected from such an entry.

References need to be given only to lemmas.

Please also stop making copy-paste and grammar errors. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:25, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

biszkecki edit

Where did you get this? I'm getting exceedingly few hits on the internet. Vininn126 (talk) 16:27, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

From polish Wiktionary Almanbet Janışev (talk) 18:43, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
It's unsourced there. Vininn126 (talk) 18:51, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Vininn126: It is rare, since Bishkek is not so often mentioned in Polish books or media but it is correctly formed and can probably be attested (with a stretch), especially in a context "protokół Biszkecki". Inflected forms count for attestation, e.g. "biszkeckiego". Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:54, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Almanbet Janışev, the Polish Wiktionary (or any other Wiktionary) doesn't count as a good source but like with anything, you can check your entries and grammar. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:56, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Almanbet Janışev (talk) 05:54, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I've opened an RFV, I can also check for inflected forms of course. Vininn126 (talk) 09:42, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Module:number list/data/tk edit

You can't use {{number box}} unless you have a Module:number list/data/ submodule with a record for the number in question. I did the first step by creating Module:number list/data/tk, but it's empty- the rest is up to you. See Module:number list/data/az for how it was done for a related language. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:16, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Links edit

Please stop mindlessly adding links to PWN and WSJP if they don't go to the lemma. I know there are many examples of this on other pages but those should be removed. I have already asked you once. Vininn126 (talk) 15:14, 20 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

"Cities" in Azerbaijan edit

As you correctly pointed out in Lökbatan, it's not a city, and there are definitely no 66 cities in Azerbaijan. Maybe you could help cleaning those? Allahverdi Verdizade (talk) 13:21, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Semantic loans edit

This is the third time I'm telling you: stop setting all these etymologies as semantic loans - a semantic loan is when a word already exists but calques a new meaning, i.e. myszka. Sounds don't have to correspond 1-1 to be considered a borrowing. Vininn126 (talk) 12:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
