Welcome

Welcome!

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!

These look pretty good, but what language are they intended for? Read WT:ELE a bit (click the blue link) that will help. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:57, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia links

What you want is {{wikipedia}} which links, we do not redirect to Wikipedia anymore than Wikipedia articles redirect here. I'd suggest something like this:

==English==

===Noun===
{{en-noun|-}}

# Definition goes here.

On occasion we "redirect" to Wikipedia. See, e.g., [[wii]], which has a link to Wikipedia atop it just because people kept creating the entry Wii, which does not deserve an entry according to our criteria for inclusion, and [[Isaac Newton]] which uses template:in wikipedia. These redirects, though, are few and far between, and I'd not advise you to start creating them until you've acclimated to Wiktionary's way of doing things. Similarly, Wikipedia links to use using a link very similar to our template:in wikipedia: w:template:wi. Hope this helps.​—msh210℠ 21:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
