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! Ultimateria (talk) 18:15, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sanskrit

edit

Hi, I see you've been making many edits for Sanskrit, which in itself is a good thing because not many are active on Sanskrit, but I also see you're making several mistakes, for example for verb conjugations. The template to be used is preferably 'sa-conj', the others are likely to show mistakes. Or you can simply add {{rfinfl|sa}} instead of the conjugation and then I'll have a look at it later.

Thanks for informing. Jeaucques Quœure (talk) 07:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I now noticed that you created the verb द्रोग्धि (drogdhi), which doesn't exist, and you also moved रोदिति (roditi) to रुदति (rudati), but both those verbs exist. Please be more careful there, thanks.
I also updated the documentation for the 'sa-conj' template, notice the special case of a deponent verb like इन्द्धे (inddhe) (I understand that this is a rather counter-intuitive way to provide the strong stem).
The perfect सास (sāsa) you gave at सस्ति (sasti) was also wrong and in principle the idea is that the perfect, aorist, etc. get their own page instead of being mentioned at the present verb (with the overview being at the root page), but as you can see there's still lots of work to do to have this implemented everywhere.
