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! --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 01:43, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
headwords, interwikis[edit]
Welcome and thanks for your editing so far. It is not necessary, and even discouraged, to include interwiki links, because the software links to other languages automatically. Also, please include a headword template whenever you add a part-of-speech section. The dedicated templates for Kabuverdianu are {{kea-noun}}
and {{kea-noun-form}}
, so for other parts of speech you will have to use {{head|kea|verb}}
and so on. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 11:31, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
Templates[edit]
Hi! I would like to recommend that you use the templates {{m}}
and {{l}}
(like this). —suzukaze (t・c) 02:13, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
Kabuverdianu[edit]
I see that you have marked kafanhotu as having neuter gender. I have never studied this language, but it seems quite unlikely to me that a Portuguese-based creole would have a neuter, and in looking at {{kea-noun}}
, I am becoming concerned about your knowledge of this language and how to document it. @Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:44, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- Some varieties of Cape Verdean have a reflex of the Portuguese gender system: optional masculine vs. feminine agreement between nouns and adjectives, but usually only when the noun refers to a human. — Ungoliant (falai) 22:44, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
