Number of citations
In general, three citations in which a term is used are considered adequate for inclusion on Wiktionary. For languages with limited documentation and languages with limited documentation available online, however, only one usage or mention is adequate.
For languages with limited (online) documentation, the following provisions should be observed to ensure the accuracy and integrity of Wiktionary content:

- the sources should be listed on the entry or citation page, and
- a box explaining that fewer citations were used should be included on the entry page.
