Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2009-03/ELE Amendment 3

• Voting on:

• That a new sentence be added immediately before the sentence in the "Definitions" section of Wiktionary:Entry layout explained that currently reads:

  The key terms of a definition should be wikified.

• That this new sentence read as follows:

  However, there is one exception to these principles: in the case of a definition that consists solely of a term that meets the criteria for inclusion, such as a synonym or translation, or a list of such terms, the definition should not be capitalized, and should not end with a full stop.

(end of vote)

Thus, absent any other modifications, the passage in question would read as follows, up to the end of the paragraph:

Each definition may be treated as a sentence: beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop. However, there is one exception to these principles: in the case of a definition that consists solely of a term that meets the criteria for inclusion, such as a synonym or translation, or a list of such terms, the definition should not be capitalized, and should not end with a full stop. The key terms of a definition should be wikified.

Thus for example:

# ]; ]; ]
# In a state of religious ].
# {{slang}} ]
