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.

Please be very careful, there are several errors on the 등신 (deungsin) page. The Sino-Korean etymology should be 等神, and the word is pronounced with a long vowel. Wyang (talk) 15:19, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Zcreator, thanks for adding this feature. I just think that this statement might not be true in all cases. For example, 电线杆 is the simplified form for both 電線杆 and 電線桿, but both actually have the same meaning. Also, the sentence is kind of ungrammatical; it should be "This form has other meanings" or "This form has another meaning". Is there a better way of wording this? @Wyang, Dokurrat, Suzukaze-c, any suggestions? — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 18:46, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
If I may, I would like to request that you make Japanese entries as subpages of your user page, like Vietnamese. —suzukaze (t・c) 22:42, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Good work on finding all those SoPs. ---> Tooironic (talk) 15:22, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Dear ZCreator,
I've seen you removed the verb forms for Korean on several hanzi forms without any notes
Can I please hear your justification on this?
'Hanzi' based words can be used as both verb and noun in Japanese and Korean.
For example ~する and ~하다 are identical in the way they represent the dictionary form of the verb.
However Japanese verb forms are allowed to stay while the Korean forms have been removed by you, For example the するform of BOTH 認證 and 認証 are allowed to stay even though 證 is an obsolete form of 証 in Japanese. (In other words a case that is worse than the use of hanzi in Korean) Before you say anything, please read my words:
replacing words with Hanja is acceptable in literature and writing and example is seen here: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS_jG1z7193CLemdsf2mi3VMUCiQTIbaqWNBsYQtvEWb9BqHvcbsbRNc3Y7
Therefore the verb forms would both be legimite in the hanja and non hanja writings.
Thinking of equality, I would think of reverting the removal or removing the verb forms on the Japanese articles... But more often than Chinese, Korean and Japanese often require added grammar to specify the usage of the word (and is is normal for dictionaries to specify if the word is a noun verb etc)
One might argue the Japanese verb forms deserve to stay over the Korean ones because it's acceptable literature to write without hanzi in korean.. but then one could argue to remove the Korean sections completely because it's not mandatory...? But then we also have two separate article pages for Japanese 例えば and たとえば as both forms are accepted with or without hanzi.
(Also ~される = ~되다/나다 although I could comprehend the removal of the passive form as it is a conjugation)
I think your main basis of removal would have been redundancy - if that is case would you mind if I ask if you have a Korean background or some form of valid education in Korean? Based on the redundancy rationale here is the summary of my proposed solutions: revert the deletion of 하다 forms in hanzi articles or delete the する forms in hanzi articles; deletion of Japanese subsection on 認証; delete article たとえば
Please ask for clarification if you are unclear about any of what I have said! I might add anything more I think of!
Sorry for the long post! I look forward to hearing your rationale! 😊 I wanted to express my thoughts instead of just reverting..

Oh I see. It was a little bit grey to me. I have just recently discovered the page 食事, and it seems to place it under the 'Derived terms'. Feels a little odd, but at least it's included somewhere Jayshinkw (talk) 09:53, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
