I think some of the stuff at the Main Page can be moved here: it can be put here and removed at the main page. The main page should stick to what a user expects from a dictionary, and here we can have the stuff that an editor wants to see. Of course, there will be overlap, such as the new entries, for which I've just created a template. Guaka 18:22, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I would like to see a dedicated search page optimised for PDAs. PDAs are not broadband and the pages here take too long to load.
I would like to see links to related wiki projects - Wikipedia, any others.
Is there a Wiki Thesaurus ? We need one, instead of multiple antonyms for each Wiktionary entry.--Richardb 00:07, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
There is a Romanian version of the Wiktionary (ro.wiktionary.org). How can one add a link to it under 'other languages' on this page?
Is there a standard place to report acronyms? Thanks you in advance.
This page needs some colour! --Dangherous 19:48, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
I have just finished deprecating Wiktionary:Index to Internals in favour of Wiktionary:Utilities. In the course of doing that, I came to realize that there is much duplication between this page and the utilities page. My merger of the other two pages was certainly with a view to avoiding needless duplications. Since Wiktionary is not paper we do not need to worry about space for storing duplicate material. Nevertheless, duplication tends to encourage divergent and unco-ordinated views where a person who is ignorant of a similar page unwittingly develops conflicting policies.
We need to find some co-ordination between this and the utilities page. My first impulse was to deprecate the entire utilities page, but it may be enough for this one to include the most common links while the utilities page includes those that have less demand. I'll wait a few days for comments before proceeding with this. Eclecticology 19:18, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm relatively new to Wiktionary, and I wasn't sure where to go to propose this new project, so I came here. I think we should consider having pages in Wiktionary which will be more-or-less completely equivalent (in terms of listing the words on one page with etymologies given, at the least) to those controversial lists in W:Wikipedia: "W:List of English words of French origin", "W:List of English words of Spanish origin", "W:List of English words of Sanskrit origin", etc. etc., which in the opinion of many, many editors would have a better place in Wiktionary. But the argument against that was that Wiktionary's format was inferior, because we couldn't list them all on one page ("one click, see 'em all"). Well, let's fix that, start a new project, and unburden Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not an etymological dictionary. Opinions? Alexander 007 06:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
The "Contact Us" section says, "For general comments/question, see our Beer parlour." Shouldn't that read comments/questions (multiple comments and multiple questions)? --Elkman 21:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
guys, that logo really needs to change. the worst bit is the grey text at the top - a lot of people arent getting that that comes from a supposed prior definition of Wikipedia, and confuse this place with an encyc.
other than that, it's just not a very nice logo is it? suggest a competition like what was done on wikipedia. --131.111.8.97 16:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC) (w:User:Alfakim)

I just finished putting together a Wiktionary to do list based off Wikipedia's. I sincerely urge you to give your thoughts and ideas on it 'cause Rome wasn't built by one person. Foxjwill 22:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I have no idea where to put this in here. It needs to get a link on a well trodden page so that people will know that it exists and be able to contribute.
My idea is to link to a "Translation" page will all the translation project such as that and translation of the week.
Any help is a appriciated.

Looking for an overview of policy, it was confusing to follow the "obvious" link to such from the front page (Wiktionary Policies- a list of all policy documents. Both established policies, and policies in development) to get presented with a big "nominated for deletion" scrawled over the top of the page.
I'd suggest removing this entry until and unless the CFD fails, and making the following one more clearly offer what I was looking for; something like:
I don't know where to put this so I'm putting this here: Should there not be a text speak Wiktionary? It's almost a full language and would help people find what a word is in Txt speak?
Should dere not B a txt spek Wiktionary? it full lingo u no?
After the success of the new Main Page, this page would benefit from an overhaul. It's been like this for 2 years, and there's lots of stale links and less-than-helpful descriptions. Anyone interested? --Keene 03:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Medical dictionary would be great to have as free open source dictionary. I think it is a valid project if anyone is up for the challenge. I also think there should be a way to only search specific dictionaries - like only search the medical wikitionary.
{{medicine}} at the start of medical definitions: this then adds the word to Category:Medicine. I don't think a special medical search is warranted as searching for a medical word will automatically return it.

Hi, one the main uses of a lexicographic resource is that of educational learning, therefore it would enrich Wiktionary to create a discussion room to ask for advice from advanced users regarding the learning process itself. The feedback would enable discovering current weaknesses and so improve Wiktioanry on the whole. --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:24, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Could someone add a link to Wiktionary:Style guide to the policy section? I was looking for it and had trouble finding it. A link to Category:Wiktionary policies could also work, and might be a good idea regardless. Thanks! -- Beland (talk) 18:39, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
I was going to be polite and say that they were making POINTy edits, but they object that POINT is not a thing on WT. So that leaves simple vandalism. In this case it's for Charonian, but they have a history of this kind of behaviour.
@Theknightwho, instead of edit-warring over introducing purposeful errors, as if WT were a bad joke, would you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, e.g. by stating or providing a link to the guideline. Not that you make some oblique mention in the past, but for the specific instance of formatting that you object to.
In this case, Theknightwho is claiming that a synonym, formatted they way they themselves format synonyms, is formatted incorrectly, and have moved it up specifically under 'noun' despite it being a general synonym -- the illustration for it is actually an adjective.
This trollish behaviour is getting extremely tiresome.
Theknightwho knows the formatting guidelines far better than I do. But fixing formatting is not an excuse for introducing errors. Better to have a correct article poorly formatted than a perfectly formatted article that is incorrect. kwami (talk) 23:58, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello all,
In mid-January 2023, the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows the March 2022 vote, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.
The volunteer-led Revisions Committee worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.
The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed here, and a comparison of changes can be found here.
How to vote?
Beginning January 17, 2023, voting will be open. This page on Meta-wiki outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.
Who can vote?
The eligibility requirements for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.
What happens after the vote?
Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.
On behalf of the UCoC Project Team,

On mobile, there is no point in making all the tabs open in a page. Nobody can read all the way down the bottom of most pages at all because they're all filled with open tabs. Okay, they're not called tabs they're called sections. Yes you can read all the way down, but it's a pain. And yes you can close each one but it's also a pain. If there's a preference to do this, then tell me. Jidanni (talk) 02:33, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

The surname Loi is predominantly associated with the Sikh Punjabi Jatt community, specifically within the Jatt caste. Originating from North East Punjab, the Lois constitute a relatively small Jatt clan known for their prowess in agriculture. Their heritage is deeply intertwined with the land, and they have earned a reputation for being robust and skilled farmers, adept at cultivating the fertile fields of Punjab. Within their community, the Loi surname carries a sense of pride and tradition, reflecting their longstanding connection to the agrarian lifestyle and the enduring resilience of the Jatt caste.
