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! See also Wiktionary:About Swedish. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:22, 13 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Please don't add interwiki-links to entries that don't exist.

In fact, you don't actually need to add interwiki-links at all; we have bots that take care of them, so human editors don't have to. :-)

Thanks,

I know! But I did not put them ther. They appear automaticly when I create a new new word. (I know about bots. I have one on sv:wp.)-Josve05a (talk) 21:35, 14 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Re: "They appear automaticly when I create a new new word": Can you walk me through the steps you're taking to create a new entry, so I can try to debug the issue? —RuakhTALK 18:45, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
It is not a bug. When I create an article I first search for it example I go down, choose Swedish in the list. Then, for example, Noun. Then when I create an article (word) it down at the bottom. Automaticly. So I choosed not to take it away. (Lazy) I thought the Swedish.wikt had the word. -Josve05a (talk) 18:50, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Swedish genders edit

When you add Swedish nouns, can you please include the gender, c or n? Thank you. —CodeCat 17:52, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

What does c and n mean? -Josve05a (talk) 17:53, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Common and neuter gender. —CodeCat 18:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Do you speak Swedish? Because I did not understand that! -Josve05a (talk) 18:03, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
I do speak Swedish, I don't know if you do? Maybe you are not familiar with the English terms. In Swedish, common gender is called utrum and is for words that have -en (like dag), neuter gender is neutrum and is for words that have -et (like hus). —CodeCat 18:07, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Jag pratar (och bor i Sverige) svenska. OK! Tack för hjälpen. -Josve05a (talk) 18:10, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Men om båge -en och -et går, vad gör man då? (Jag menar här:{{sv-noun|g=}})-Josve05a (talk) 18:12, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

För ord med -en {{sv-noun|g=c}} och for -et {{sv-noun|g=n}}. Du kan också se Category:Swedish nouns lacking gender för ord som inte har ett genus ännu. —CodeCat 18:25, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
