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.

Comparatives and superlatives edit

Could you please stop creating those robotically? certativissime is not attested on Google Books. Canonicalization (talk) 16:59, 15 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

I’m very sorry, I’ll be more careful next time. I marked both pages for deletion. Latisc (talk) 17:07, 15 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
BTW, you should now use {{la-adv-comp}} and {{la-adv-sup}} to create comparative and superlative adverbs. Benwing2 (talk) 01:59, 23 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Using the language tag in pronunciation entries edit

Hello Latisc! I see that you've been adding IPA pronunciations to a number of entries lately. When you do this, remember to use the correct language code in the IPA template: for a German word like Waisenhaus, that means using IPA|de|/ˈvaɪ̯zn̩ˌhaʊ̯s/ rather than using "la" after the IPA part. When you use the IPA|la| pronunciation template, it causes the pronunciation to be miscategorized as a Latin pronunciation!--Urszag (talk) 10:12, 6 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I was using the incorrect language code. Thank you for telling me, though. Latisc (talk) 11:23, 6 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Recently, Benwing's bot has been automatically updating pages with that IPA template so that it consistently takes a language code as its first parameter. I think that this format is supposed to be more consistent with the format of other templates, such as "audio"; that might help you remember it. I think I've fixed all of the pronunciations that had been put into the Latin categories. Don't worry, I've also made mistakes like this. --Urszag (talk) 12:03, 6 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Aussprachedateien edit

Hallo Latisc, könntest Du bitte bei Neuanlage eines Lemmas prüfen, ob eine Aussprachedatei existiert und nicht automatenhaft die Vorlage

  This talk page needs an audio pronunciation. If you are a native speaker with a microphone, please record this word. The recorded pronunciation will appear here when it's ready.

benutzen. Beispielsweise existieren

Vielen Dank für Deine Unterstützung. Jeuwre 11ː23, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Ich wusste nicht, dass Aussprachedateien für nichtexistierende Begriffe schon existieren. Darauf werde ich in Zukunft achten. Latisc (talk) 11:40, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

We sent you an e-mail edit

Hello Latisc,

Really sorry for the inconvenience. This is a gentle note to request that you check your email. We sent you a message titled "The Community Insights survey is coming!". If you have questions, email surveys@wikimedia.org.

You can see my explanation here.

accelerated creation of incorrect non-lemma forms edit

Hi. I notice you have created quite a lot of non-lemma forms for German nouns. Many of them are wrong; e.g. Nerden per all dictionaries is not a valid form of Nerd. You are a native speaker of German so I'm surprised you don't notice the mistakes. I would recommend not doing this in the future. Benwing2 (talk) 02:37, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello Benwing2, thanks for letting me know. I probably used my tool that automatically adds inflection tables, since applying it again yields the same result. Sorry for not having checked the forms afterwards. I will better do it manually from now on. --Latisc (talk) 09:35, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
