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! Ƿidsiþ 06:31, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

multiple edits

[edit]

You can add multiple translations with only one edit. Add the first one, press "Preview translation"; add the next one, press "Preview translation" again - continue for each language. Only when you have added them all press "Save Changes". Cheers SemperBlotto 07:10, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

country names

[edit]

Are you sure "maldova" is "Maldives" and not Moldova? I think the it is the second.

Also: it probably isn't useful adding translations for these that are simply the same word (Nepal->Nepal). Robert Ullmann 08:12, 17 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
