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.

@Vininn126: I think you accidentally pasted the wrong template here ;) The phrase tupot białych mew never existed before the song and it doesn't seem to be particularly doubtful that it's the song that originated it. WSJP authors also seem to believe it to be so.[1] What more is needed to include it? It's not like a reliable secondary source explicitly stating it is needed here like on Wikipedia, right? --mwgamera (talk) 10:33, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Well I had a feeling that the phrase originated from the song and at the time of making the entry I do not believe that WSJP had that etymology! Also the greeting template was not a mistake, just trying to greet people. Vininn126 (talk) 10:37, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
