Basque entries

[edit]

Please, take a look at how existing entries are formatted, and double check the definitions you add. Many of them are inaccurate or wrong, and cleaning up your additions takes time. Santi2222 (talk) 11:42, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Basque: I take the meanings from hiztegiak.elhuyar.eus, which seems to be an authentic source. 2001:4C4D:2058:A900:BDFB:811A:C17D:CECC 11:44, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
The Elhuyar dictionary is fine as a source. The problem is you seem to be directly translating the Spanish translations of Basque words into English, and this often results in definitions which are inaccurate/bizarre/wrong. In the end, this means all of your contributions have to be checked. And that's without mentioning the issue of formatting.--Santi2222 (talk) 11:52, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
What is wrong with the formats? 2001:4C4D:2058:A900:BDFB:811A:C17D:CECC 11:56, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
There are several headword templates specific to Basque, such as {{eu-noun}} which should be used instead of {{head}}. Nouns and adjectives should have declension templates too. In addition to that, it is nice to have things such as the pronunciation of the word, its etymology, derived/related terms and external links to dictionaries (even if they are not required). Start by taking a look at Wiktionary:Entry layout and some well-formatted entries.--Santi2222 (talk) 12:05, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
