Welcome!
Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page 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.
- Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
- Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
- The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
- We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.
Again, welcome!
Formatting
This is not scolding - but here's how you format definition lines with {{context}}. Oh and may I ask what you're trying to do with all those anchors? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 07:32, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. The anchors are to allow a specific sense of the word to be linked from a Wikipedia article, as in ...that most felicitously chosen of all like devices, the three open books and the veritas of Harvard. Perhaps there's some better way to do this? EEng (talk) 17:54, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. Would you mind raising the topic at the technical discussion forum before you add too many more? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:58, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
