[edit]Hello. When you create a new page, could you leave the "edit summary" box blank, instead of writing "new page" or something? Then the new page contents will show instead. It helps us to patrol new entries. Thanks for your work. Equinox ◑ 13:49, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Ah thanks for the heads up! Will do. Emilej01 (talk) 13:49, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
Space between languages
[edit]Welcome to Wiktionary!
Please make sure to add a blank line between your entry and the previous entry (if there is one). Also, you have to add a separator: ----
(this requirement will likely go away in a few weeks as there's a vote going on right now). See WT:NORM for more information. I'll fix your existing entries. Thanks for your contributions! tbm (talk) 14:02, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know! I wasn't sure about it since I only ever saw it in one article... Will make sure to add it in the future! Emilej01 (talk) 12:06, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
Greetings! I'm here to ask you where you got this term from, I can't find it in my dictionaries or on Google Books. Stríðsdrengur (talk) 22:39, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi there, thank you for your inquiry! It's from the Book "Vun der Long op d'Zong - Ausdréck aus dem fréieren Duerfliewen (Band 1)" by Mil Goerens which is a glossary of obsolete or rare Luxembourgish expressions that were/are still in usage mainly by people in the Luxembourgish countryside. Here's the ISBN: 978-2-919792-24-5
- It's probably pretty difficult to obtain this book outside of Luxembourg but here it can be found at an Ernster bookstore along with the second volume. Have a nice day! Emilej01 (talk) 13:37, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
Creating entries for inflected forms
[edit]An entry for the plural of a Luxembourgish term should have a "Luxembourgish" language header and a "Noun" part-of-speech header, with an "lb" language code in the headword template. So far I've fixed two "English" plural entries of yours. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone in Luxembourg has to switch languages in order to say plurals...

- Ah, that would be a mistake I made when I didn't realise how the lb templates worked. Since I couldn't find the lb one at the time I used the en one. My bad. Once I have the time I'll check on my past work to fix that wherever it happened. Thanks for letting me know! You are obviously correct about not needing to switch language to English to pluralise a Luxembourgish word. Thank you for fixing those errors! Emilej01 (talk) 21:14, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
