Initialism, abbreviation, acronyms, etc. have been deprecated as parts of speech. — Ungoliant (falai) 21:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well, I've seen pages in which they were used before. I just found an example: SS. What do you think? Thanks for letting me know, fellow Wiktionarian! —The Sackinator (talk) 21:47, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- They need to be converted to the real POS. For example, a noun section for spousal support, proper noun for Subsahara and adjective for Subsaharan. Frankly I’m not sure where some of those definitions should go, like Saints and Silent Sound(tm). — Ungoliant (falai) 22:03, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't know that. Could I have a citation for verification, please? Thanks again for letting me know! —The Sackinator (talk) 22:06, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Alternative forms goes before the POS headings. — Ungoliant (falai) 17:09, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, that's right. I must have been thinking of synonyms or something. Sorry about that.
You were right the first time. (Mathworld confirms it) SemperBlotto (talk) 15:49, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
Might as well make it official...since no one else ever has[edit]
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.
