'''Welcome to the Grease pit!'''

This is an area to complement the [[Wiktionary:Beer parlour|Beer parlour]] and [[Wiktionary:Tea room|Tea room]]. Its purpose is specifically for discussing the future development of the English Wiktionary, both as a dictionary and thesaurus and as a website.

The Grease pit is a place to discuss technical issues such as templates, [[Lua]] modules, [[CSS]], [[JavaScript]], the [[w:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software, extensions to it, Toolforge, etc. It is also the second-best place, after the [[Wiktionary:Beer parlor|Beer parlor]], to think in non-technical ways about how to make the best, free, open online dictionary of “all words in all languages”.

Others have understood this page to explain the “how” of things, while the Beer parlour addresses the “why”.

'''Permanent notice'''
* Tips and tricks about customization or personalization of CSS and JS files are listed at [[WT:CUSTOM]].
* Other tips and tricks are at [[WT:TAT]].
* Find information and helpful links about modules, Lua in general, and the Scribunto extension at [[WT:LUA]].
* Everyone is encouraged to expand both pages, or to come up with more such stuff. Other known pages with “tips-n-tricks” are to be listed here as well.<br><br>
