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! --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 08:54, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Dialect names

Please note, on en.Wikt we try and use the dialect names commonly used in English, which are not always that used their native language. --{{victar|talk}} 13:36, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Also, please don't place Westphalian dialects under nds-de, which is a generic code. I created a Low German dialects tree awhile back which might be helpful. --{{victar|talk}} 17:19, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Lücht, I never heard back from you. --{{victar|talk}} 20:26, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

@Victar: Oh, you wanted an answer?

• Names: True, but I don't think that e.g. Münsterländer is more common than Münsterländisch. Google Books searching for "Münterländisch dialects" gives English results. For "Münsterländer dialects", I only got one with "known as Münsterländer Platt".
• Westphalian: Wiktionary differs between Dutch Low German/Saxon (nds-nl) and German Low German/Saxon (ndl-de) and doesn't have a 3rd pseudo-language like Westphalian Low German/Saxon (nds-wf or whatever it could be). The difference is made because of spelling and influence from foreign languages: nds-nl is influenced by nl (e.g. lack of common noun capitalisation), nds-de is influenced by de (e.g. usually with common noun capitalisation). Hence for example Tyt or nördlik as cognate of nördlich are nds-de.
