Welcome 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.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! Vininn126 (talk) 10:59, 11 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Old Polish declension edit

I saw you're interested in making some templates for this: I have a few concerns. The Old Polish corpus is so small it can be hard to determine what pattern a verb followed and also to know all the ins and outs of each pattern, as opposed to say OCS. I think I'd prefer to stick to attested forms for Old Polish. Same with Middle Polish. Vininn126 (talk) 22:01, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

You're probably right. I tried to look through some Old Polish texts and look for the patterns but I feel like there would too much guesswork involved for it to be useful (or entirely correct in some cases). I would still like to make a manual template for attested forms of verbs like być though. Ryēkī (talk) 15:46, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Ryēkī Yeah that seems fine. It might also be useful for other verbs. We do something like that for Middle Polish nouns. Vininn126 (talk) 16:01, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
