editWelcome
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.
Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 01:43, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
headwords, interwikis
editWelcome and thanks for your editing so far. It is not necessary, and even discouraged, to include interwiki links, because the software links to other languages automatically. Also, please include a headword template whenever you add a part-of-speech section. The dedicated templates for Kabuverdianu are {{kea-noun}}
and {{kea-noun-form}}
, so for other parts of speech you will have to use {{head|kea|verb}}
and so on. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 11:31, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
Templates
editHi! I would like to recommend that you use the templates {{m}}
and {{l}}
(like this). —suzukaze (t・c) 02:13, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
Kabuverdianu
editI see that you have marked kafanhotu as having neuter gender. I have never studied this language, but it seems quite unlikely to me that a Portuguese-based creole would have a neuter, and in looking at {{kea-noun}}
, I am becoming concerned about your knowledge of this language and how to document it. @Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:44, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- Some varieties of Cape Verdean have a reflex of the Portuguese gender system: optional masculine vs. feminine agreement between nouns and adjectives, but usually only when the noun refers to a human. — Ungoliant (falai) 22:44, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
