Welcome!

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.

Again, welcome!

Template:term

When using {{term}}, tr is for transliteration, to simply link to a term (a blue or red link) use {{term|word goes here}} or {{term|word goes here|lang=language code goes here}}. --Mglovesfun (talk) 17:31, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I will make note of that for future entries. I mistakenly though tr stood for term. How embarrassing...

Context-templates need to indicate language.

See, for example, cuesta?diff=18651467. —Ruakh_TALK 15:58, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Cuesta is also used in English geography. See this Wikipedia article: Cuesta. I will add an English entry to the page. Epolk (talk) 17:41, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Re: "Cuesta is also used in English geography": I believe you, but the Spanish def nonetheless needs to be tagged with lang=es. —Ruakh_TALK 17:59, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Ok. I don't speak Spanish so I will bow to your expertise on this matter. Epolk (talk) 18:42, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

It's not a matter of speaking Spanish or not, it's a matter of how Wiktionary works. Spanish categories belong in the ==Spanish== section, English categories in the ==English== section. —Ruakh_TALK 18:59, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
