Welcome edit

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! -- Apisite (talk) 11:05, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

omusajja edit

Regarding the entry omusajja, what is the term for "woman" in Luganda? (That's one reason why the BabelBox is essential for your user-page. Check out my BabelBox and others' BabelBoxes for examples.)

I ask that because the template {{ant}} could be added there. -- Apisite (talk) 11:23, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

woman can mean omukazi,omukyaala Elizabeth Nakiwu (talk) 11:42, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
The term "omukyaala" has been added to the entry, but if it's a misspelling, you can fix it by editing the entry. --Apisite (talk) 11:47, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Actually, here's what had to be done (also, I should have made a summary with that edit). --Apisite (talk) 11:26, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Here is how the English Edition of Wiktionary ought to display Luganda's noun classes in the section for translations. --Apisite (talk) 11:38, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

On the Template lg-noun edit

This matter is for at least the Grease-Pit, but the template {{lg-noun}} ought to be updated to include all the noun classes.

Besides, Appendix:Luganda noun classes ought to be made, so you may study Appendix:Swahili noun classes and Appendix:Tooro noun classes for examples. -- Apisite (talk) 12:05, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
