User talk:MrIPAddress

As I prefer to keep conversations together, I will reply to all conversations on the talkpage where the conversation started.

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or make a hyperlink. The Wiktionary tutorial is a more wordy, multi-page document that helps you through those same formatting issues, and also touches on a couple of other issues relevant to editing.
• The document What Wiktionary is not may be of interest. In particular, if you've edited Wikipedia in the past, you should note that Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia and does not have Wikipedia-style page titles.
• How to start a new page is a technical guide to, well, how to start a new page. But you'll also want to look at our guidelines for how to format an entry (what goes where) and our criteria for inclusion (what can be included), which are our two main policy documents. (You can get a feel for how to format an entry by looking at existing entries.)
• The Sandbox is a safe place for testing markup.
• The FAQ has, of course, some frequently (and some infrequently) asked questions, and their answers.

I hope you enjoy editing here! By the way, you can sign your comments on talk (discussion) pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~, which automatically produces your name (or IP number if you're not signed in) and the current date and time. 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℠ 19:25, 11 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please note that Wiktionary does not really do the whole gift giving fad from Wikipedia, and as such your subpages shouldn't ever be used here. Conrad.Irwin 16:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to say it, but as far as I know no-one here much cares about edit count either. Conrad.Irwin 17:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

We don't use these either. Conrad.Irwin 20:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please {{subst:}} this. Automated tools that parse Wiktionary are not able to easily transclude. Conrad.Irwin 21:24, 12 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

You don't need the explicit category: {{plural of}} adds it. Also, note that the headword is specified, which is not what you want. Finally, realize that you're merely duplicating template:new en plural. HTH.—msh210℠ 18:18, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Can be used where Wikipedia uses Template:For and similar. Conrad.Irwin 16:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is not Wikipedia. Please do not tell newcomers that it is. --EncycloPetey 19:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

You are making a mess. This is not Wikipedia, stop acting as though it is. If you want to warn people for testing on entries, use {{test}}, vandals get blocked not warned. You are causing me to do a lot of cleaning up after you, and you will be blocked unless you do something productive. I would suggest Adding example sentences to entries would be a good way to get started and gain a real edit count. Conrad.Irwin 19:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

• Totally unproductive and a waste of time and resources. Blocked. SemperBlotto 19:58, 14 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
