Orthography edit
Western Yugur has no native written tradition and no officially supported orthography, thus most sources write Western Yugur in ad-hoc phonemic transcriptions. Wiktionary has adopted Li Keyu's IPA based orthography to which all entries should be standardized. The table below elucidates difference between orthographies of several major sources.

Entries and links edit
Main entries should be created for the lemma of a word, its canonical form. Terms in lists of translations, related terms, etc. may link to the lemma. In Wiktionary the lemma is usually:
- Nouns, adjectives & proper nouns: nominative singular.
- Verbs: infinitive stem with a dash at the end.
Supplementary entries may be created for variations of the term, usually simply linking to the lemma using a template such as {{inflection of}} or {{alternative spelling of}}.
