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.

I get your argument, and occasion, I do the same. (See, for example, homœ-#Derived terms.) However, the category has the major advantage over the table in that it will be automatically updated whenever ple- is used with {{prefix}}, {{suffix}}, {{confix}}, &c., whereas the table will only be updated when a person thinks to do so. If you can generate a list of terms which feature (deprecated template usage) ple- and then add it to the entry, then I'd support using the table instead of the category. † ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 01:19, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- I understand where you're coming from. The unfortunate part about it is that (at this time) I can't think of many words with the prefix. Until such a time a good number of them can be thought up, I'll let it be (best not get into an edit war) King Semsem 01:27, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- If you have access to the OED, then the entries from “pleio-, comb. form” to “pleiotypic, adj.” and from “pleo-, comb. form” to “pleoptics, n.” would be good places to start. † ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 01:49, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
