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! Vininn126 (talk) 11:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Inflectional suffixes

I've been finding entries you've edited in Wiktionary:Todo/Lists/Derivation category does not match entry language in the section: In "German terms derived from X" but not in "German lemmas" or "German non-lemma forms". That's because "Inflectional suffix" isn't a part of speech- so please leave "suffix" in the headword template. {{head}} allows you to specify additional categories, so you can always add |cat2=inflectional suffix (or |cat3= if there's already a |cat2=, etc.). Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 22:32, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the point. I'll try to change those correctly (suffix + additonal infos). Feel free to correct me further in the future. Sersovi (talk) 08:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

German Correlatives

This would be better under the ====See also=== header. Vininn126 (talk) 10:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

In which form would that be? For each entry a ====See also===? I am totally open to any meaningful contributions, since I have so far proceeded with a similar approach as done for the Hungarian. Thanks. Sersovi (talk) 11:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

I see. I'm going to leave a welcome message that has links to some basic explanations, the see also is from WT:ELE. I pinged you in an edit at keine. Let me know what you think. Vininn126 (talk) 11:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Since there has been no change in a month, I moved the tables in all the entries and edited the template so that the table is collapsed, I hope you don't mind. A table that takes up the whole window shouldn't be non-collapsible. Since you placed it at the top it also covered text of the following sections.

The changes I made to the table are just temporary to force it to collapse, please fix the rest of the formatting in {{de-corr}} so it looks like a regular table :)

@Vininn126 while you suggested moving it to ===See also===, is that the right place for it? As I understand it, one should use this section to link to other places in wiktionary, such as appendices. Wouldn't it be best to move the whole table back to Appendix:German correlatives (where it was before it got replaced by the template) and simply link to the Appendix in ===See also=== (and delete the template altogether)? This would also eliminate the need to collapse it. Alexeji (talk) 11:09, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

The table seems fine to me as it is. And See also isn't just for appendices and such, you can link to the mainspace as well, no problem. Vininn126 (talk) 13:16, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
