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:


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 the beer parlour or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- Tawker 18:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

lowercase?[edit]

Your recent transwikis seem to be getting lost, as they are not in the "Transwiki:" pseudo-namespace, but instead in "transwiki:". I don't think that is correct - is it? --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've been told to switch to the lowercase version -- either way, what shows up on the logs should be correct. Let me know if they aren't. TheProject 17:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Entry names are supposed to be lowercase, but the pseudo-namespace should not, IIRC. So yes, the first character after the colon should be lower case, but it still should be "Transwiki:" not "transwiki:". Thanks for keeping these moving. --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just looking down the transwiki log and clicking some of the links, it seems that a lot of the Transwiki: articles redirect to their lowercase equivalent. I'm just wondering though -- does it actually matter? If I transwiki into lowercase and then link to lowercase in the log, it should still work. (Is stuff actually getting "lost"?) TheProject 17:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Lost" was perhaps inaccurate. It is more likely that entries will get needed attention if they are closer to what they shouold be. But since the Transwiki log itself links to wherever it is they ended up, it seems like they are not entirely lost after all. --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I will go back to uppercase, but leave previous entries intact. TheProject 17:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

templates and categories[edit]

Could you please strip out all templates and categories from Wikipedia stuff that you transwiki here. That would save us the job of doing it later. SemperBlotto 22:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright -- I'll also take out interlingual Wikipedia links too. (Although, I'm just thinking -- this stuff needs to be cleaned up to make it a dictionary type entry anyways, doesn't it? I mean, templates or no templates, what I'm pasting will be in no shape for Wiktionary either way.) TheProject 22:18, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, maybe we can bot-formatulate the content - templates, though the actuall dicdef's would need some more work -- Tawker 19:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki[edit]

Now that en.wiktionary sysops have the Import: page functionality, I'm not sure how we should proceed with transwikis. The Import: function transferrs full edit history, along with the entry. Perhaps we should discuss how to proceed in WT:BP? --Connel MacKenzie T C 21:15, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'll continue to do it manually until someone asks me to stop. Copying and pasting the edit histories should not be that much of a problem, I think. Please let me know if it is. TheProject 21:30, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Transwikiing is not compatible with GFDL. Since we have the opportunity to make it compatible, we should take it. — Vildricianus 21:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Eh? Why is that? I was under the impression that the whole point of copying over edit histories was to satisfy the GFDL. Anyways, I'll log what I've done so far and stop now, but I regret I'll be unable to use the import function. TheProject 21:53, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's only partly. Edit histories on talk pages can be goofed up, deleted, or forgotten to be moved along with the main entry... There are many advantages Special:Import has over manual copying, but I wouldn't want to take away your joy. I've posted here where I gave another couple of reasons. It's up to you though, but the transwikis would be much safer if imported correctly. — Vildricianus 22:13, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vild, please, let's continue this discussion on my talk page, instead. That conversation has a more pleasant tone (which is needed, I think!) --Connel MacKenzie T C 03:40, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I'm not offended in the slightest. TheProject 03:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

w:Category:Move to Wiktionary[edit]

Hi Connel, it's theProject. Could I bother you to please import Wiktionary-worthy entries listed in w:Category:Move to Wiktionary (there are about 200 right now)? I would be very much obliged. Thanks! TheProject 22:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder. I've been a bit occupied with today's events. Perhaps someone will get to it before I do tomorrow night. --Connel MacKenzie 08:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've started...finished the As so far. I'll update the log when I finish the page. Total of 197 entries... --Connel MacKenzie 05:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, thanks for the reminder. --Connel MacKenzie 05:22, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called TheProject. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name TheProject~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed[edit]

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
