Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- Wiktionary Tutorial
- How to edit a page
- How to start a page
- Our layout policy (nicknamed “ELE”)
- Criteria for inclusion (nicknamed “CFI”)
- Wiktionary Sandbox (a safe place for testing syntax)
- What Wiktionary is not
- FAQ
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk (discussion) and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~, which automatically produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my Talk page.
Did you know that Wiktionary can be adapted to fit your style? Go have a look at your personal preference page (nicknamed “PREFS”)! In particular, you can choose the option to show hidden categories, which will be of great help if you are looking for work to do.
Again, welcome! --EncycloPetey 19:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Format
[edit]Please examine our minimum formatting requirements on WT:ELE. The entries you have added recently lack the inflection line, and place the category link in the middle of the entry, rather than at the end of the language section. Correcting this yourself will save others the trouble and time of doing so. --EncycloPetey 19:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- They lack an inflection line because they aren't inflected. Jonathan de Boyne Pollard 19:46, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- A Wiktionary "inflection line" is the line immediately after the part of speech section header. Even uninflected words must have this line as part of Wiktionary's minimal format. --EncycloPetey 20:07, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
