Welcome
[edit]Welcome!
Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page 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.
- Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
- Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including, there is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
- The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
- We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.
Again, welcome! --Ivan Štambuk 19:10, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
[1] - Hi Wesha! Please take some time to study Wiktionary layout format as outlined in the WT:ELE. In particular, the section names ===Verb I=== and ===Verb II=== are not allowed, and the bot that monitors the structure of entries (AutoFormat) would tag for them cleanup.
If these two meanings are etymologically related, they should be listed one beneath the other one, if not they should be listed under different etymology sections (===Etymology 1=== and ===Etymology 2===). Or you can simply list them under two consecutive ===Verb=== sections if you're unsure. Cheers --Ivan Štambuk 19:15, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- I still cannot make sense out of what you're talking about. Why won't you show me by example, by cleaning up that section? -- Wesha 22:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Another user cleaned it up in the meantime.What I'm trying to say is that sections names such as ===Verb 1=== and ===Verb 2=== must not be. Instead, you have to use simply two consecutive ===Verb=== sections (if they have separate conjugations) if these are under the same etymology (in this case, apparently they are), or if they have different etymologies they must be at level-4 as ====Verb==== (not the four '=' signs) under ===Etymology 1=== and ===Etymology 2=== respectively.- I.e., in the first case you'd have:
==Russian== ===Etymology=== some etym. ===Verb=== # definition 1 =====Conjugation==== conjugation 1 ===Verb=== # definition 2 =====Conjugation==== conjugation 2 different from conjugation 1
- In the second case you'd have:
==Russian== ===Etymology 1=== etymology 1 ====Verb===== # definition 1 ======Conjugation===== conjugation 1 ===Etymology 2=== etymology 2 ====Verb===== # definition 2 ======Conjugation===== conjugation 2 possibly different or equal to conjugation 1
- In case where there is equal conjugation and etymology for all of the sense, you just group them under the same ===Verb=== section
like it is now at the abovementioned entry. --Ivan Štambuk 22:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I think that Template:Sandbox/Wesha should actually be User:Wesha/Sandbox if it's for your personal use and not a template to be used on other pages. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:36, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- It is the template to be used on other pages (import from ru:wikt), currently under construction. Please be patient. -- Wesha 15:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, suits me. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:46, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- You can delete it now, testing is over. -- Wesha 16:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
