Add topicWelcome!
Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page 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.
- Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
- Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including, there is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
- The FAQ aim to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
- We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.
Again, welcome!
In addition, you may find useful the entries for (deprecated template usage) parrot and (deprecated template usage) listen, which are well fleshed-out pages demonstrating format conventions. --EncycloPetey 18:04, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi MRG, thanks for your contributions. The key thing is that you provided references of the word in use, which is great. But we normally format it rather differently, to give example sentences from the printed sources. Have a look at how I changed the page. Thanks again. Ƿidsiþ 16:58, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
