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.

You have prehardened as the past of the verb preharden, yet you define preharden as a noun. I'm confused. SemperBlotto 14:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry about that. I converted preharden to a verb. On a side note, how do I get rid of the first two participles? Wizard191 14:59, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Your definition is still that of a noun. Why would you want to get rid of the present tense and present participle? Do you not think that they exist? SemperBlotto 15:02, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, I think I got it right now. And no, those two participles don't exist. Wizard191 15:18, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes they do. 10 results for prehardens on Google book search, and over a thousand for prehardening. SemperBlotto 15:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC) p.s. I'll add entries for them if you like.
- Oh, alright. I've never heard of the terms, but apparently they exist. Wizard191 16:36, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
