Hey I dunno if you just came for Gamergate but you landed on my talk page anyway, so here's some welcome stuff.
Welcome 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.
Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! Equinox ◑ 22:21, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
You don't need to add a ===See also=== section for the same spelling but uncapitalized (or vice versa). When another entry exists, differing only in capitalization or an accented/unaccented letter (como, cómo), the other forms are placed at the very top of the page. See the uppermost line of Gamergate for an example of how we do it. Putting it in a second place such as ===See also=== is needlessly redundant. —Stephen (Talk) 10:01, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
- Stephen, thank you for replying. I am concerned by SemperBlotto's failure to provide an explanation for his rollback in the edit summary and I appreciate you taking the time to provide one for him.
- With regard to the merits of SB's rollback, please see these two discussions: [1] and [2]. You may want to add to the second one. Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 12:08, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
