Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own.
This is not Wikipedia; it is run in a very different manner, and assuming similarity may get you blocked for causing disruption. This has happened too frequently in the past, which leads to a (possibly unfair) prejudice about your motives and actions here. You should note particularly that being bold is not encouraged where it goes against any of our policies or against the community consensus, which is generally strong. Changing policy pages on Wiktionary is very strongly discouraged: if you think something needs changing, discuss it at WT:BP, following which we may formally vote on the issue. (You can get more of a glimpse of the Wiktionary mindset at Help:Interacting with humans.)
Our two main policy documents are Wiktionary:Entry layout explained ("ELE") and Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion ("CFI"). ELE describes our standard layout; unlike on Wikipedia, all entries must follow this layout, even if they are not yet complete. (You can get a feel for our standard layout by looking at existing entries.) CFI describes what is allowed in the dictionary, and disallows (for example) most names of specific persons or places. We generally follow ELE and CFI closely.
If you do create a couple of entries that are not properly formatted, someone will be glad to clean up after you. But if you do it repeatedly, you might get blocked as a temporary measure to give you a chance to read ELE.
Some other differences between us and English Wikipedia:
{{Babel}}; please do not create or use them.{{temp|template name}} will do the trick.)Also, a "citation" on Wiktionary is the same as a "quotation" and is evidence of a word being used; we use these to construct dictionary definitions. See WT:QUOTE. A "reference", on the other hand, which is called a "citation" on Wikipedia, references another secondary source, such as a dictionary, and is used predominantly for verifying etymologies and usage notes, not the definitions themselves. (That we don't use another dictionary as our source for the existence of a word is largely so that we don't fall into the trap of adding "list words", words that, while often defined, are never used in practice.)
I hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary! If you have any questions, then see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my talk page.—msh210℠ 16:50, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
The English Wiktionary does not use redirects to join alternative forms or misspellings or between upper and lower-case forms of words. This is because we exist to document the language, and thus the spelling should be included as an entry in its own right. {{alternative spelling of}} and {{misspelling of}} exist to facilitate the creation of entries for such spellings. To learn more about editing Wiktionary please read Help:How to edit a page or nose around in the community portal. Thank you. Nadando 18:10, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
Please follow our standard transliteration - WT:RU TR, yours are very unstandard. It may be easy to recreate rather than fix. --Anatoli (обсудить) 05:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
When viewing a discussion page, you should see a "+" tab between "Edit" and "History". You can use that to add a new section to the page. —RuakhTALK 17:22, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
Please note my change from:
to:
Looks much better this way, doesn't it? No need to put gender ({{m}}, {{f}} or {{n}}) on verbs, prepositions and each word too :)

Привет,
Придётся всё менять. :) Шаблон {{l}} теперь даёт автоматическую транслитерацию, но в переводе сумм частей она не желательна:
Поменял с:
На:
если проставлять ударение после |, то можно без транслитерации (кроме исключений в чтении:

Hi, translations sections only go in English sections. Please see WT:ELE#Translations. Thanks! --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:01, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
But I think it's forward slash ( / ), not backslash ( \ ), when separating lines of poetry, isn't it? Equinox ◑ 00:59, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Привет,
Спасибо за переводы. Для глаголов не нужно обозначать m, f или n, этот параметр используется только для существительных. Обычно мы используем несовершенную форму или обе, отмечая их {{impf}} и {{pf}} (или {{pf.}}). Если тебе не трудно, не мог проставлять транслитерацию в словах, которые уже переведены раньше? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:18, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Привет!
Как жизнь? Перестань ставить {{n}} в глаголах, он для существительных, у глаголов нет рода, например teeter и т.д. :)--Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:25, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Привет,
Ползователь Ruakh создал программку для быстрого создания статей из переводов на русский язык. Работает очень хорошо, я протестировал. Нужно только добавить код (зависит от оболочки, которую ты используешь) в Викисловаре и перезагрузить браузер. Склонение, спряжение, синонимы и прочее нужно добавлять в ручную.
Одним щелчком в переводе на русский слова abstinence:
=={{subst:ru}}==
===Noun===
{{ru-noun|tr=vozderžánije|g=n}}
# ] {{gloss|the act or practice of abstaining}}
Остается добавить другие значения (если есть), склонение, и т.д.
=={{subst:ru}}==автоматически меняется на Russian после сохранения.
Сообщи, если интересно, помогу установить или свяжись напрямую с Руахом. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
I'll have to make a note of that for later. BTW, I appreciate your addition of literary citations; I think on the whole we can be a bit too slangy and silly. Equinox ◑ 00:46, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Sum of parts in my opinion, should not be created. There is a sense at cynosure to cover this. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:58, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Hey, CopperKettle! Nih from Stack Exchange here. Hillcrest98 (talk) 01:31, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
