Welcome
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 (
~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp. - You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.
Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Well done that man! Unfortunately the email link doesn't work (yet). SemperBlotto (talk) 21:30, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

This is Wonderfool…
…right? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 21:08, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
- Wait, I thought you were Wonderfool. Are you saying you're really Vahag? Because that would mean that I'm Semper... —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:12, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
- Come on, guys. The "Who's really Wonderfool?" is such a lame old joke. Who cares these days anyway? WF is the fifteenth-greatest amateur lexicographer in history. And he was just working on cutting down the To-do list into a more user-friendly format. --Quadcont (talk) 21:16, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
- Figured. Alright if I come to you with Asturian, Catalan, and Castillian requests? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 22:17, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
- Sure. --Quadcont (talk) 11:26, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

- @Quadcont: Thanks. Sorry that my outing you got you blocked. I won't ask if you're WF in your next incarnation; I'll just ask for whatever help I think you can provide. (Assuming it is actually you in that case; it could well just be someone else versed in Iberian languages…) — I.S.M.E.T.A. 00:41, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- @I'm so meta even this acronym: I'm gonna be honest, people knew before you mentioned it. —JohnC5 00:47, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- @JohnC5: Oh, yeah? I hadn't seen the talk. Thanks for letting me know. Since Quadcont was blocked within seventeen hours of my question, I mistook correlation for causality. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 01:15, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
Bandanas!
