Hi! Here's the standard welcome message.

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! Per utramque cavernam 19:13, 14 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sense ids on affectioned edit

I undid your change to the page, because that didn't seem like a workable solution in the long term. Instead, I proposed a change to how the affix templates work at Wiktionary:Grease pit/2019/April#Fixing an oversight with the id= parameter on affix templates. This would be a better solution for the long term case, by allowing the affix template to link to the right sense ID without affecting the category name. —Rua (mew) 21:20, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

"I hope I'm not infringing on your trademark" edit

Hi! I have no idea what you were talking about here. All I could think of was that I sometimes recommend speedily deleting things, but that's not too common! But the real point is: I just noticed that you signed "Mike", so I assume "Moverton" is "Mike Overton", so I've been pronouncing it wrong all this time. Like a ton-mover, who shifts a lot of weight. If I were in the band Reel 2 Real then I would pronounce move like mauve and there would be no issue. OK, just random rambling, I'll piss off now. Equinox 18:55, 21 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Babel edit

Greetings, would you add {{Babel}} to your user page? It is not mandatory, just useful. Or adding anything (like "Hi") to your user page would make it non-redlinked. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:54, 29 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
