Welcome Message
editHello, 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.

Central Iranian
editPlease use Central Iranian, as per Category:Proto-Iranian language. Thanks. -- Skiulinamo (talk) 21:30, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
This is strange, Wikipedia says Avestan is an Eastern Iranian language. Most sources say this too, from ancient Afghanistan.

- There are many systems of categorization of Iranian. This is the one we use. -- Skiulinamo (talk) 06:01, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
Oh I see. How are these decisions made? In talk pages? Are Wikipedia and Wiktionary sources completely different? I know Wikipedia and Wiktionary have links to eachother very often.

- Such things can be discussed at WT:BP. -- Skiulinamo (talk) 06:22, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is bullshit and we hate them. Wiktionary is the real stuff. Equinox ◑ 06:28, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
Oh I did not know Wikimedia had "office politics", thank you for letting me know.

Adding reconstruction entries
editYour entry for PII *čálHati had several formatting and reconstructive issues. Please reference other entries and cite published sources to better prevent this in the future. Thanks. -- Skiulinamo (talk) 06:30, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
