Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution 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.
- 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.
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!
- By the way, we don't use redirects very much around here, so sloshy should get its own separate entry. L☺g☺maniac chat? 13:35, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- From where (public domain) can I obtain the definition?. Regards. --Nopetro 14:24, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- There are many free dictionaries online. Perhaps you may want to google the word and see what comes up. Just don't copy the definitions verbatim from any other copyrighted source! :) L☺g☺maniac chat? 15:26, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

- Well done. Instead of delete, you have created a good definition page. Thanks. --Nopetro 07:21, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
redirects
editThe English Wiktionary does not use redirects to join alternative forms or misspellings or between upper and lower-case forms of words. This is because we exist to document the language, and thus the spelling should be included as an entry in its own right. {{alternative spelling of}}
and {{misspelling of}}
exist to facilitate the creation of entries for such spellings. To learn more about editing Wiktionary please read Help:How to edit a page or nose around in the community portal. Thank you. Conrad.Irwin 13:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- Can you include an example?. Thanks in advance.--Nopetro 14:19, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
I thought that was p-n (as in p-n junction). SemperBlotto 18:57, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- It has both spellings. Regards.--Nopetro 19:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
