Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions 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.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide to Wikipedia users useful.
• 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.

Also, please add a BabelBox to your userpage so we can help you with the languages you'll be working in.

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.

Etymology

Please note that etymology headings should be level 3 and go after the language heading, like this. Cheers —Internoob 05:37, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. That seems odd since an etymology should be shared by all the cognates. But, of course, I will bow to the consensus here.Craig Pemberton (talk) 05:39, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Etymology formatting

There's a lot of information at WT:Etymology, which I invite you to read if you have time, but in mean time please be sure to use templates like {{term}} and {{suffix}} (the links have documentation on how to use them). Thanks, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions! —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 15:54, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
