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!
Terms derived from inflected forms edit
Hi. When an term is derived from an inflected form (like three cheers derived from cheers), do you know if it is common practice to list the term as a derived term of the lemma (cheer) rather than of the inflected form? (I'm asking you because I know you've been working through Wiktionary:Todo/phrases not linked to from components.) Thanks. - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 20:57, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- It depends. Sometimes I'm not sure and I arbitrarily choose one. You see, I'm quite a sloppy editor, and generally recommend asking other users for their opinion. GreyishWorm (talk) 21:04, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

- I'm happy with those edits GreyishWorm (talk) 23:20, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
(Not why I reverted: I reverted because you added the audio before there was a clip, so it looked broken.) But are you sure this is /ɒŋi/ and not /ɒŋgi/? Cf. finger, singer etc. It's a bit of a classic phonetic textbook example. You just did it by copy-paste didn't you? Don't do that without a clue. (I think your audio is probably wrong too. But hard to tell with this stupid rare word.) Equinox ◑ 03:19, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Take it to the Tea Room, and I'll re-record this stupid word again if necessary GreyishWorm (talk) 21:00, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
