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! --Tibidibi (talk) 10:03, 11 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Etymology templates

edit

Hello,

Thanks for adding Korean neologisms. Just as a note, {{blend}} is for compound words where the second part of the first word and/or first part of the second word is gone. For example, 기레기 is a blend of 기(자) and (쓰)레기, and 소개팅 is a blend of 소개 and (미)팅.

So 캠핑족 is not a blend, since no part of either 캠핑 or 족 is lost. Instead, it should be done like this:

{{af|ko|캠핑|-족|t1=camping|t2=people, ethnicity}}.

밀당 isnot a blend either, since it’s not the second half of 당기다 that is being lost. It would be a blend if it was 밀기기, though. The older etymology that was there was okay.

For 카공족, the etymology should be formatted like at 틀딱충. 카공족 is also not a blend because it’s the first syllable of 카페 and 공부 that are being taken.

Could you fix the etymologies of 밀당, 캠핑족 and 카공족 please? I would do it myself, but unfortunately I’m not really in a place where I can edit.--Tibidibi (talk) 11:52, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
