Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.
If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It 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.
These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

I consider having a BabelBox to be important for various reasons, but if you don't want to display one at your userpage, then I'll understand.
If you do want to add a BabelBox to your userpage, however, then you could look at mine for an example. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 09:01, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

if you're a native speakerThank you very much for adding pronunciation recordings to entries. Can I encourage you to use the {{audio}}
template, like this? Thanks! — SGconlaw (talk) 11:55, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi again. The {{WOTD}}
(Word of the Day) template wasn't originally designed to deal with .flac files, but since you have been creaing pronunciation recordings in this format, I have updated the template. If you have created a sound file that has exactly the same filename as the Wiktionary entry (including hyphens and spaces, e.g., File:ark at ee.flac), this will now be automatically displayed by {{WOTD}}
. However, if the sound file is different (e.g., File:whipsmart.flac), you will need to manually add the parameter |audio=whipsmart.flac
to {{WOTD}}
(e.g., see "Wiktionary:Word of the day/August 2"). — SGconlaw (talk) 12:09, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
Come to think of it, I suggest that you should follow the Wikimedia Commons filenaming convention for pronunciation recordings, e.g.', "File:En-us-whip-smart.flac". Let me know if you do so, and I will adjust {{WOTD}}
accordingly. — SGconlaw (talk) 12:19, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

{{WOTD}}
accordingly. If you have any questions, just ask me here. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:08, 4 August 2018 (UTC) Could you please use the {{audio}}
template when inserting pronunciation recordings into entries, as requested above? The format is:
{{audio|filename.flac|Audio (GA)|lang=en}}
and the line should be inserted under the General American IPA line. See the link in the first paragraph for an example. Thanks. — SGconlaw (talk) 15:47, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
