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! —Justin (koavf)TCM 23:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely! @Koavf are there any standard warning templates? I primarily do anti-vandalism and would like to warn users if possible. Philipnelson99 (talk) 23:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
For sure: Category:User warning templates. Thanks kindly for your help, Philip. —Justin (koavf)TCM 23:30, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi

Hi,

Thanks for reverting a vandal account's edits on eshay. I believe it may have been someone on my network (which is quite a generic network), but it wasn't me. I think the page needs protecting because it's obviously a common vandal target in Australia and the edits made by that account should be hidden because it contains personal information of a child (at least according to the social media accounts mentioned, I checked Instagram and found a teenager with that username). 2001:8004:4450:5FB9:90A3:CE5F:235F:DE46 02:29, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
