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 on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; 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.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! Chuck Entz (talk) 21:55, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Unadapted borrowing note

Hi, I don't think adding {{es-unadapted}} to pages is a great idea. For one, we often refer to the RAE for definitions, etymologies, etc, but Wiktionary is based on descriptive, not prescriptive use. In older texts, and commonly in practice, you won't see e.g. bestseller in italics. It's not an intrinsic property of the word; it's just one typographic preference. I believe this is important for Spanish speakers to know, but it's one of many linguistic features that just doesn't belong in a specific dictionary entry.

Adding to this, I rolled back a few of your recent edits that only added this template to the Etymology and italics to the {{es-noun}} headword and I hope this causes no hard feelings. For Spanish entries, the headword line should be a single {{head}} or one of the {{es-}} part of speech templates without any additional formatting. The Etymology section is simply not the place for {{es-unadapted}}. If it's to be used at all, it would belong in the Usage Notes like {{es-note-noun-f-starting-with-stressed-a}} and {{es-note-noun-mf}}. Having said that, I was not previously aware of this RAE prescription and I'm happy to have learned it. Thank you. — This unsigned comment was added by JeffDoozan (talk • contribs).
