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.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

It seems we've been playing some entry tag :). It's always good to see another person with an interest in Greek roots. A couple of words about that (which you may or may not have already picked up), we don't create entries for Romanizations (with a few notable exceptions, such as the Chinese languages and Japanese), and thus don't create links to them. Also, keep in mind that on Wiktionary "Greek" means modern Greek, and Ancient Greek (from which many English words come from) must be specified as such. Any other questions or comments, feel more than free to drop me a line. Thanks. Atelaes 22:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

plurals

The nicer method is to use {{plural of|[[single]]|lang=Italian}} . You get the category for free. SemperBlotto 13:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

And see valigia for how to use the {{it-noun}} template (also gives you the category for free) SemperBlotto 13:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Derivations

These should not all sort to "Derivations" but alphabetically by langauge or family with ISO prefix. --EncycloPetey 20:29, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Language names in translation tables

Hi there. Our convention is to use actual language names, not two-character templates. SemperBlotto 08:09, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

super

Let me explain. I removed the derived terms because they are not directly derived from super. They are derived from super- or possibly from non-English words. (I could be wrong about specific cases, but that can only be established by doing the research.) I did some work on superfine to support the evolution of the sense to support super#Etymology 1, but I relied on [1], a usually reliable source. It would be nice to show that "super" was used by itself to mean "superfine" applied to goods and that "superfine" was used of, say, situations or outcomes or people.
