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 documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
  • Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. 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.
  • The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
  • A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
  • If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Galway Irish

Hi, I've edited Module:labels/data/regional so that the label {{lb|ga|Galway}} automatically categorizes terms into CAT:Galway Irish. That means you don't have to add the category manually anymore. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:18, 1 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

In fact, all the categories that you're adding manually don't need to be adding. Please stop placing them in entries. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:30, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Just checking your revisions here – be aware that {{usex}} is for invented examples. The Walter Scott citation – if you want to put it in a template, which isn't strictly necessary – should use {{quote-book}}. Ƿidsiþ 05:31, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

|bor=1

Yuka, |bor=1 is used for terms in descendants trees that are borrowed. Please don't remove them. See the {{desc}} documentation for more guidance. Thanks. --{{victar|talk}} 03:04, 15 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sorting and long vowels in Japonic languages

Sort keys for long vowels should use the kana for that vowel value, and not the 長音符. For instance, Okinawan ふぃーとぅ should be sorted at ふぃいとぅ.

If you're at all interested in Swadesh lists for Japanese, also be sure to have a look at Appendix:Japanese_Swadesh_list_(extended), as well as the Talk pages at Appendix_talk:Japanese_Swadesh_list_(extended) and Appendix_talk:Japanese_Swadesh_list. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 16:37, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Descendants

Hi, the correct template for listing descendants of a term is {{desc}}, not {{der}}. See diff. Thanks! —Mahāgaja · talk 06:39, 2 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Labels

Please don't remove labels (e.g. in Special:Diff/52488343/53501333). In some cases {{topic}} and {{lb}} are redundant, but then the topic should be deleted and the label can stay (the category is added implictly). – Jberkel 08:46, 2 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

IN ENGLISH (I dunno about in Roma language) one gadje can be a person, two gadjes two people. Look at . Please restore the entry appropriately. Equinox 23:51, 29 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Glottal stops at the beginning of words.

Why are you removing the glottal stops (the apostrophes) from the beginning of words that start with vowels in Okinawan romanization? MiguelX413 (talk) 02:16, 16 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

I don't think we need apostrophes in romanizations of a word that starts with either "a", "i", "u", "e", or "o" because it always has a glottal stop. --YukaSylvie (talk) 02:27, 16 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
@YukaSylvie: It's contrastive, for example 音 is /ʔutu/ and 夫 is /utu/ in Okinawan. So they would respectively be 'utu and utu I think. There other other orthographies available too which we could discuss. MiguelX413 (talk) 02:44, 16 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
@MiguelX413: I get the point. I'll do as you said. --YukaSylvie (talk) 02:46, 16 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
@YukaSylvie: some orthographies would do /ʔutu/ as utu and /utu/ as wutu which might actually be better by the way. You had a good point. MiguelX413 (talk) 02:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

I don't think its necessary to change them even if the SN or E may be redundant. MiguelX413 (talk) 14:56, 28 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Comorian

Hi YukaSylvia. I'm happy to see your interest in Comorian, but mistakes like the one you made here suggest to me that you do not know the language, and are just copying off of ORELC. Please be much more careful, especially when changing definitions from those made by editors who actually speak the language, like Echtio. If you're not sure you can make the judgement, then don't make the edit. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:26, 13 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Metaknowledge: Thank you for advice. Yes, I depend on ORELC because it's the only dictionary I've found, and it's a useful one; it even lists which dialect uses a word. Does ORELC have some wrong information? What dictionary should I use? I have interest in Comorian because of my Comorian online friend. --YukaSylvie (talk) 05:27, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
It's a pretty good dictionary, but the grammatical information is sometimes not quite right, and it's not always perfectly clear. In examples like the edit linked above, you seem to have misinterpreted it. Relying blindly on a dictionary without studying that lsnguage or knowing a related one can be treacherous. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:31, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Vietnamese entries

Please add the pronunciation section and a period at the end of etymology section (if they present) whenever you create Vietnamese entries. Also, as not every word or phrase in Chinese has a Vietnamese equivalent, please be careful not to create "ghost" entries. Thank you.PhanAnh123 (talk) 09:14, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

ბორი

@YukaSylvie: What does 'boron' or dialectal 'mist, haze' have to do with 'vomit', 'wolf' or 'bride', 'daughter-in-law', 'sister-in-law'? Why did you add the Georgian entry to "also". Just because of how it sounds? I'm genuinely confused. Is this considered good form at wiktionary: do people really need to know that 'bori', which in Georgian refers to chemical element boron, also has random homophony in random unrelated languages, with various meanings from 'vomit' to 'wolf' to 'bride'? 46.242.14.191 07:32, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Japanese sorting

Hi - you don't need to add sort=xxx to Japanese, Okinawan (etc) entries anymore, as it's handled automatically. Theknightwho (talk) 22:51, 2 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi, please don't copy and paste definitions from Ó Dónaill's dictionary here, as it is still under copyright. Thanks! —Mahāgaja · talk 13:02, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

In that old edit you have removed the word stress from the headword. Please don't do that. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:41, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Romani entries

Hi - please don't edit Romani entries anymore. You've made a really big mess in all the etymology sections of various varieties of Romani by saying that they all inherited terms from standard Romani. That's just not how it works. Romani is a macrolanguage, and the variety we call "Romani" is the standard, representative variety, but it doesn't mean all the other varieties developed out of that one. It would be just as wrong to claim that Neapolitan terms all developed out of standard Italian, for instance. Theknightwho (talk) 23:38, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Even worse, you actually erased etymologies added by someone else in order to fit the "inheritance" from Romani, even in cases where the pre-existing etymology said something else (). Even if Kalo Finnish Romani were descended from standard Romani, the fact that Kalo Finnish Romani enja and Romani enia are similar does not mean you can assume that one inherited from the other. That's a really basic error, and really concerns me about your edits more generally (which I note are across a wide array of languages). Theknightwho (talk) 23:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
