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! Thadh (talk) 19:06, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Style

Hi Barbaravonslaet,

I would like to kindly ask you to follow WT:EL (the manual of style). The edits you have made and entries you have created so far are to say the least not following this and possibly to a degree that they are unusable (and thus are subject to deletion or reversion). Please read both the Entry Layout, Criteria for inclusion and review the code on other pages with attention, and then (if no-one gets to doing that for you) fix the entries you have created and edited so far. Some major things to pay attention to are:

• Linking definitions using [[definition]]
• Using L3s and L4s for different parts of speech or other headers on a page (Usage notes, Etymology, References...)
• Using reference templates for references (e.g. {{cite-book}}, {{cite-journal}} or even creating your own reference, like {{R:ofs:Bremmer:2009}})

I hope you find yourself at home here at en.Wiktionary and continue contributing, although hopefully in a better style ;) Thadh (talk) 10:00, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
