Welcome
editWelcome!
Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page 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.
- Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
- Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
- The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
- We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

I know, I can't believe I forgot that! Shouldn't be editing at 6, should I? :þ And thank you for the welcome. I just started editing wiktionary, but I have been a user of it for years. Definitely one of my favorite sites Davidleeroth 11:32, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Yoghourt isn't a misspelling, but rather a regional spelling (specifically Canadian). Our policy is that, in the case of a word which has different spellings in different regions, the original editor has discretion on which variant to use (as long as it's current), and others are to respect that decision. Otherwise we'd constantly have revert wars between Americans, British, Canadians, Aussies, and a whole mess of other folks who use English in their own peculiar way. As such, I've reverted your edit. Any questions, feel free to ask. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 12:27, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
