Welcome edit

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions 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.
  • If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide to Wikipedia users useful.
  • 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.

Also, please add a BabelBox to your userpage so we can help you with the languages you'll be working in.

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.

Again, welcome! —Angr 23:18, 3 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

New entries edit

Hi, when you make new entries, be sure to say what language they are. You created and told us it means "to go", but you didn't say what language it is. —Angr 23:18, 3 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Benvignût! edit

I'd like to second your welcome to Wiktionary.

I see that you have started a project to create a Friulian Wiktionary. That's very exciting. You probably know there is a Wikipedia in Friulian.

I was wondering if you could make the Babel templates for Friulian. If you don't feel comfortable writing them in Friulian, they can be written in English to start.

Also, we had some anonymous Friulian translations added the other day, including at yellow, one and apple.

If you are interested, we have a mentoring program. You're also welcome to ask questions here or in one of the community portals (see link in left bar). --BB12 (talk) 17:10, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
