A proposition to bring up in WT:VOTE - any definitions that are vulgar, obscene, sexual or otherwise Category:English swear words should be:

• blurred and require clicking an "I am over 18" button to view
• or preferably, be hidden behind a login wall (and upon account creation, also confirm that they are over 18, via implementation of an external age verification service)

Like it or not, -zilla is the English augmentative noun suffix. Hence all noun headers should really look like this:

mom (diminutive mommy, augmentative momzilla)
dog (diminutive doggie, augmentative dogzilla)
cat (diminutive kitty, augmentative catzilla)

Wiktionary could help raise money for Wikimedia by including paid sponsorships in its usage examples, like so:

crab cake (plural crab cakes)

1. A type of fishcake popular in the United States composed of crab meat and bread crumbs.

   I got 50% off my first order of crab cakes from SeafoodShack.com by using coupon code "Wiktionary" at checkout.

Is the formal academic register really the best at explaining word meanings? What if we instead used the informal register?

car key

1. That little metal thing you put inside the hole by your steering wheel (and then twist) to make the car start.

dictionary

1. One of those books that explains what different words mean. Though nowadays it can also be a website.

nose

1. That triangular thing above your mouth and between your eyes with two holes in the bottom of it that lets you breathe and smell things.

Akin to how users can switch date labels between BC/AD or BCE/CE depending on if that user is Christian or hellbound, Wiktionary should respect the Young Earth Creationist perspective and offer a gadget to switch between whether our reconstructed ancestor language is called "Proto-Indo-European" or "pre-Tower-of-Babel-onian".

For pages of the names of nationalities, the chosen photo should represent the nationality in question in its most salient cultural imagery. Here are examples of the kinds of photos we should use:

• 
  Englishman
• 
  Australian
• 
  Frenchman
• 
  Russian
• 
  Irishman
• 
  German
• 
  Austrian
• 
  Swede
• 
  Italian

There is an obvious supercategory missing from Wiktionary: Category:Human language. And we could have even broader supercategories like Category:Mammalian language, and Category:Animal communication. Such categories would be useful in allowing us to expand into listing broader ways of communication like Category:Avian mating calls, Category:Arthropod pheromone signals, and Category:Extraterrestrial lemmas once we make contact.

Since parrots also speak, and this speech is attested in YouTube videos, we'll have to add IPA phonetic transcriptions of parrot speech to the Pronunciation section of many words. The question worth asking is whether we need a new set of IPA symbols altogether, since parrots have no lips nor teeth yet can still make bilabial plosives and dental fricatives. I have petitioned the International Phonetic Association for an Psittacine Extension to the IPA, but they are yet to email me a reply. Until they do, let us go forward as so:

• (Psittacine) IPA^(key):

Since every word can be reflected off a surface such as a mirror, it would be a good use of our time to cover those forms as well. You'll find they're all attested simply by viewing their original attestation in a mirror.

These entries would look like like this:

We'll have to duplicate all Wiktionary entries with their new mirrored forms, but a lack of mirrored character glyphs in Unicode presents a problem. We can start simple by defining all words that only use bd,cɔ,i,l,o,pq,sƨ,u,v,w,x. The rest will have to be added like this: Unsupported_titles/mirrored/`facetious`) where we'll be able to use CSS to rotate them in the headword: facetious.

It seems only fair that we'll also have to add additional entries for words' vertically-reflected forms:

As well as horizontally- AND vertically- reflected forms:

Lastly, in the interest of neutrality, all existing entries will need get templated as Template:unmirrored form of, unless they're already horizontally and vertically symmetrical, like oxo. Since all these additions can be done by bots, Wiktionary will be able to quadruple its size within days and finally make it to the top of Wikipedia:List of dictionaries by number of words.

Since Wiktionary defines the names of the common batteries AA and AAA we ought to continue this pattern by creating an entry for the names of all the other types of batteries. The list for which can be found here: Wikipedia:List of battery sizes. Thanks to service manuals, attestability is guaranteed. Let's start: CR2025, LR44, CR-V3, A23, PP3, A27, CR2016, (continue...)

And after we're done that we can add...

• Wikipedia:List of vacuum tubes
• Wikipedia:List of LM-series integrated circuits
• Wikipedia:List of integrated circuit packaging types

This template skilfully uses the latest youth slang and emojis to effectively onboard troubled youths into becoming productive Wiktionary editors.

So peep 👀 our Wiktionary welcome for the deets. 🚀

Whoa there, have you had anything to drink tonight?
Yes, we can tell. Signs of intoxicated Wiktionary editing include:

• Profanity-laden edit summaries and talk page comments out of character from ones usual self
• Editing at unusually late hours, especially on weekends
• Sudden interest in editing entries related to bodily functions, sex, and/or profanity
• Requiring 14 edits to fix ones own typos

While there's no rule prohibiting editing under the influence, online lexicography can't possibly be the best way to enjoy being sloshed, can it?

Surely you'd rather down brewskies with friends at a party instead of alone at home in front of your computer screen, right? Right??
