Welcome
[edit]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!
Adding translations in many languages
[edit]Be very careful with adding translations in languages you may not know. For instance, German nouns are always capitalised. It's best to at least consult one dictionary (such as Duden) — and to add the gender while you're at it. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 07:40, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Hey! Can I ask where you encountered the term Breslavia in Tagalog. Thanks! --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:05, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- I'm going to be honest; I was stupid and copied it from the Wikipedia article. Sorry. MSG17 (talk) 13:19, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
