Welcome

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! --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 20:36, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Usage examples

Hi,

You can use automatic transliterations for Russian using {{ux}} or its longer version {{usex}}. You can add stress marks to Cyrillic words and use tr= when words have irregular transliterations (copy the whole sentence and change the word that needs to be transliterated manually). For citations, many dislike stress marks, though. Examples, using {{ux}}

Default (no stress marks, no manual transliteration):

А между тем есть средство спасти его и нас от нищеты и позора.

A meždu tem jestʹ sredstvo spasti jevo i nas ot niščety i pozora.

And yet there is a chance of saving him and us from destitution and disgrace.

With stress marks:

А ме́жду тем есть сре́дство спасти́ его́ и нас от нищеты́ и позо́ра.

A méždu tem jestʹ srédstvo spastí jevó i nas ot niščetý i pozóra.

And yet there is a chance of saving him and us from destitution and disgrace.

With manual transliterations (for его́ - jevó):

А ме́жду тем есть сре́дство спасти́ его́ и нас от нищеты́ и позо́ра.

A méždu tem jestʹ srédstvo spastí jevó i nas ot niščetý i pozóra.

And yet there is a chance of saving him and us from destitution and disgrace.

Default with the manual transliteration:

А между тем есть средство спасти его и нас от нищеты и позора.

A méždu tem jestʹ srédstvo spastí jevó i nas ot niščetý i pozóra.

And yet there is a chance of saving him and us from destitution and disgrace.

To make a one-line example, use "inline=y". --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
