Welcome

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! --Vahag 18:51, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

mazza

Hi there. I think that this can simply mean mallet - the wooden implement used in carpentry etc. SemperBlotto (talk) 17:12, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

• OK. changed definition to just "mallet", and moved "mazza da croquet" into derived terms section.

iemand in de rug te steken

Might this not deserve its own entry, if it refers to the idiomatic sense (to betray). Mglovesfun (talk) 12:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• Done, thanks! (->in de rug steken)

volproppen

nl:volproppen seems to suggest another definition, to make very full (transitive) rather than to be very full (intransitive). Mglovesfun (talk) 18:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Indeed that was not the best wording in the definition. Hope it's better now. Anceurs (talk) 18:13, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Templates

When creating Dutch entries, could you please add the Dutch templates like {{nl-verb}} and {{nl-conj-wk}} to the entry? Every Dutch entry should have those. Thank you. —CodeCat 21:56, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Sure thing. By the way: is there somewhere a complete list of Dutch wiktionary templates? Anceurs (talk) 23:32, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Category:Dutch templates. —CodeCat 23:35, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Some things to watch out for

There are a few things that I would like to note about your recent contributions.

• spoog: Verb forms should not use {{nl-verb}}, that is only for lemmas (infinitives). You can use {{head|nl|verb form}} instead, which is what all other Dutch verb forms also use. It's also better to use standard templates to generate the definition if possible, like I have done now.
• When adding etymologies, please note the use of {{prefix}} and {{suffix}} as well. These templates should be used instead of {{compound}} when the word has been formed with a prefix or a suffix. They also add the entry to a different category, which keeps track of all words with that prefix/suffix.
• When creating entries for Dutch verbs, please add the appropriate inflection table as well. If you don't know how to add it, add this instead: {{rfinfl|nl|verb}} so that the entry can be found and fixed by someone else later.
• If you create a new Dutch verb entry, or you see a verb entry where some of the forms in the table do not have an entry yet (the links are black instead of blue), please add the verb to User:MewBot/feedme. That list is tracked by a bot which automatically creates all the entries.
• The same two points apply to adjectives as well, using the {{nl-decl-adj}} template. You don't need to create all the inflected forms yourself (like toornige), it's easier to let the bot do it.

Cool, thanks for fixing those so far. Will look out for points above. BTW, talking about proper templates - it looks like Template:nl-pron does not exist. Anceurs (talk) 12:29, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

MewBot doesn't support nouns

But there is a gadget called accelerated entry creator that you can enable in your preferences. It will make the links to the noun forms green, and when you click on them you get a ready-made entry. —CodeCat 14:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
