Help:How to create basic entries on other Wiktionaries

This page is no longer active. It is being kept for historical interest. No discussion is needed to revive this page; simply remove the {{inactive}} tag and bring it up to date.

This page aims to help editors create bare-bones entries in Wiktionaries in which they don't know the native language. The main purpose of it is to move out content (usually foreign language translations) that that isn't allowed here.
