Welcome
editHello, 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.

The spellings of language names used in Wiktionary can't be changed by just moving a category; they require a change to our infrastructure, and we want to keep everything consistent. I've carried out your change here, but if you think a language name should be changed in the future, you should ask me before trying to move something. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:45, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I was happy to see that for the most part you used the click letter ǃ, instead of replacing it with a punctuation mark as is so often done. However, the dental click letter was replaced with the letter L, and in some places the lateral click letter was replaced with a double L (though not always). I added a note at top that the data has been corrupted. (There's also the ASCII rather than combining apostrophe.) Hopefully it's not too big a job.

- @Kwamikagami: All right, thank you for noticing this. Please do what you can do to fix this issue. Abacaxeiro (talk) 18:27, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have the sources in front of me. I'm going to assume that '=', '+' and '=+' are all substitutes for 'ǂ', but I have no confirmation of that. So I could easily be 'correcting' them wrong. kwami (talk) 18:44, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Even the English has been corrupted and not corrected. I can't even guess what some of the words are supposed to mean, and with the !Kung vocab I may just be making things worse. I'm going to request that the page be deleted. kwami (talk) 18:58, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
