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:
- Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
- Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
- Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
- If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
- If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
- Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (

- You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Hi, @Languageseeker.
How are you?
I feel your pain and I wish I could go to that RFD and type "Keep." But I don't know a word of Mandarin Chinese and they'd call me out on that. I check out RFD from time to time, maybe there'll be some other opportunity to help you save a term. Have a good one ;-) -- Dentonius (my politics | talk) 16:06, 11 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hi, a stag beetle is called 鍬形蟲 in Chinese. Please do not create Chinese entries if you are unfamiliar with the language. RcAlex36 (talk) 12:21, 18 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
- Alright sorry I may be wrong, but please follow proper formatting. RcAlex36 (talk) 12:24, 18 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
- No worries. Is there any simple way of finding out if their is a difference between traditional and simplified when adding an entry? It seems that Wiktionary prefers the main entry to be in Traditional with a zh-see for the simplified version. Or is just based on familiarity with the different characters?

- You can pick 繁體 (traditional Chinese) and 简体 (simplified Chinese) on Chinese Wikipedia. The easier method, however, is to check here on Wiktionary. Check character by character if you are not sure. RcAlex36 (talk) 13:26, 18 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
