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.

Hindi translit
[edit]Hey there, we use the tilde over vowels to disambiguate between, for instance लैंगिकता and लैङ्गिकता. We don't follow the IAST exactly...since Hindi isn't quite Sanskrit :) See Wiktionary:Hindi transliteration for a little more info on what we do differently. — [ R·I·C ] opiaterein — 15:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Arabic translit
[edit]See Wiktionary:About Arabic. We transliterate ع as 3. —Stephen 12:22, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
