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! —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. I already edited here and there, created one new page and added a missing template variant for noun declension in marathi. I think I understood already a bit of the basics (I am software developer using markdown on a daily basis), but am sometimes unsure about the workflow process whom to ask for advice and how and where, when I spot some unclarities / mistakes? But I will figure it out. Undekagon30 (talk) 19:55, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- You've done a fine job asking for help so far. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:27, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you.
- I checked the number of registered user which are marathi native or near native and still active (and have good knowledge of the grammar plus the templating mechanism for noun declension / verb conjugations), looks like less than a handful.
- I think my actual knowledge is good enough to give it a try to classify all nouns properly and when in doubt ask my marathi real life friends if I am right and to add everywhere the missing declensions, but I am not sure and would appreciate some other person to "code review" this specifically, because I don't want to mess up anything. I am also in search of a quality marathi online grammar I can trust.
- (so far only found digital scans of old grammars at archives.org and some blogs for language beginners, but nothing I would not like to get cross checked, by somebody who actually knows well)
- wiktionary is my main source of reference for vocabulary learning besides th two here always referenced dictionaries from the university of chicago (Berntsen, Molesworth). That is why I started to add and clean up here, because I want a good quality learning resource for myself which I can trust.

- Nice. I'm really happy to have you here. I'm totally ignorant of all Indian languages other than English, so I can't actually help you in that regard, but if you have questions about how to contribute, please let me know. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:52, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, Danke. You at least know Deutsch, Hebrew and Greek (scripts), that is already cool.Thanks again for the warm welcome here Undekagon30 (talk) 09:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
