This policy explains considerations for Portuguese entries that are not covered by WT:ELE and other general policies.
The following languages are sometimes considered to be a dialect of Portuguese, but have their own Wiktionary language code and should not be in a Portuguese section:
The name of the entry is exactly that of the word or phrase defined, including any diacritical marks; that is, the characters Á, Â, Ã, À, Ç, É, Ê, Í, Ó, Ô, Õ, Ú, Ü and their lowercase counterparts should always appear where necessary. However this doesn’t apply to the following cases:
Usually all of the letters in the entry name should be in lowercase, except for the entries listed below.
Also, please remember that language names and nationalities, e.g. francês (“French”), italiano (“Italian”), brasileiro (“Brazilian”) or sueco (“Swedish”) are not capitalized. Terms from proper nouns, e.g. budista (“Buddhist”) and maquiavélico (“Machiavelian”) should not be capitalized either.
This is a simple entry for the word casa:
==Portuguese== ===Noun=== {{pt-noun|f}} # ], ]
The diminutives and augmentatives of nouns and pronouns should be listed under a ===Derived terms=== heading.
The first parameter of {{pt-noun}}
specifies the noun’s grammatical gender. Some cases require special consideration:
===Noun==={{pt-noun|f}}
# ]{{gloss|part of body above neck}}
===Noun==={{pt-noun|mf}}
# ]{{gloss|person in charge}}
{{U:pt:male or female}}
;{{U:pt:epicene}}
.There should not be entries for adverbs with the suffix -mente dropped, such as rapida- and fria- in the sentence “A cidade foi destruída rapida-, fria- e violentamente.”
Proper nouns should have a gender specified, even when they don’t take articles. For example, the gender of Lisboa is feminine, because it takes feminine adjectives and past participles.
