The word (deprecated template usage) agency does not share an etymology with (deprecated template usage) principal, so they are not Related terms by Wiktionary's sense. That section is reserved for words that have a similar spelling/origin because they come from the same root word. --EncycloPetey 05:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've just ventured over to Wiktionary from Wikipedia, so thanks for setting me straight. Cheers! -Walshga 05:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Our key document is WT:ELE (entry layout explained). In addition, there are guide pages for most major sections with obvious names, so information about the Etymology section is in Wiktionary:Etymology, information about Pronunciation is coordinated from Wiktionary:Pronunciation, etc. You may also find the entries for (deprecated template usage) listen and (deprecated template usage) parrot useful as model pages when the style guide text is difficult to figure out. --EncycloPetey 05:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the guidance, EncycloPetey. Thanks again! -Walshga 05:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing on linking. We don't usually link to the specific part of speech section. If the word is English, we just link to the page. If the word is not English, then we link to the appropriate language section. --EncycloPetey 06:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha, EP! Thanks! -Walshga 06:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
