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.

t, t+ and t-

Hi there. The three templates {{t}}, {{t+}} and {{t-}} are used, in the translations sections of English words to do two things. 1) Show the translation in the specified language 2) Provide a link to the definition of the translation in the foreign language version of wiktionary. Use t+ if you are sure the word exists in the other Wiktionary, t- if you are sure that it doesn't and t if you don't know. We have a bot that corrects the settings by looking at the other Wiktionaries. The format is the same for all three - the first parameter is the two-character code for the foreign language (e.g. it for Italian, de for German), the second parameter is the translation, the third (optional) parameter is for the gender if applicable.

trans-top etc.

In general, when using the various *-top templates, the mid and bottom need to match. So in this edit of yours to (deprecated template usage) traitorous, you should have used {{trans-mid}} and {{trans-bottom}} to match {{trans-top}} instead of simply {{mid}} and {{bottom}}. — Carolina wren discussió 02:15, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

OK. AlphaOmega 20:28, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Greek entries

Please have a look at Wiktionary:About Greek. In particular, there are templates designed specifically for the Greek inflection line of nouns and verbs, so that you don't have to use {{infl}}. --EncycloPetey 20:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I will. Thanks. AlphaOmega 20:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Greek translations

Hi, I noticed you are working with Greek. Could you also please add transliterations? Although Greek alphabet is not hard, most people, including me, don't know how to read Greek. :) Anatoli 22:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll try to include transliterations more often. AlphaOmega 22:39, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
