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! Ultimateria (talk) 02:26, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Why was my edit of "caber" undone?

Why was my edit of "caber" undone? The welcome message mentioned lots of places, none apparently applicable.Sdiabhon Sdiamhon (talk) 19:59, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

I think the user who removed it just meant to undo your most recent revision. When you add a colon in front of a category name, you link to that category without including the page in it. Ultimateria (talk) 20:04, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

I suspected the colon might be the problem, but the category I added is now missing from this word. If I re-add it without the colon, will it be reverted again? Sdiabhon Sdiamhon (talk) 20:07, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Please don't include the stress in the page name when adding Russian

впотьма́х (vpotʹmáx) was entered with the wrong page name - we include the stress in the headword, but not the page title itself. We have a bunch of clever stuff in the back-end which means they still work in link templates, though - like the one at the start of this message.

This doesn't apply to ё, by the way, which we do include. Theknightwho (talk) 21:38, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
