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 aim 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!
Guten Tag, you're free to add interwikis for German, however User:Interwicket will add them automatically if you just wait. Your time would be better spent adding German translations here. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yeah I know, I was told in the German wiktionary too, that some bots do those works - but I like to do it myself the moment I create a new article. Unfortunately I have little time to spent here next month. But thanks for greeting. Great project. (= --WissensDürster 09:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
People can't share knowledge, if they don't speak a common language.

Ways you can help[edit]

See Category:German inflection templates, especially, Wiktionary:About German/WT:ADE, and Category:German language for information on how to help with German-language entries.

I personally (as well as many others here) value feedback about English-word entries from non-native speakers. If you spot a definition that is hard to understand, you could insert {{rft}} and leave a comment at the Wiktionary:Tea Room or insert {{rfdef}} or {{rfc-sense}}.

Hi there, thanks for the advice. The problem is I am no linguist. So I doubt I can make useful contributions to inflections-tables and stuff like that. What I thought about was the checking of meanings of words, whether correctness or completeness. I do not want to insert any more templates^^ I rather hoped to be able to make them disappear :S (sry for my limited word pool). --WissensDürster 15:23, 24 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
