Welcome

Welcome!

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 aims 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! --Ivan Štambuk 12:09, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

!Xoo

Hi, thanks for importing all the Xoo stuff - where are you getting it from? If it's not too much to ask, could you use {{infl}} on them instead of manually Categorising - this helps to keep things a bit neater. Conrad.Irwin 21:56, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

===Verb===
{{infl|nmn|verb}}

Language header

Please don't link the language header as a wikilink. Thanks, Razorflame 01:59, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

deletions

I have deleted all of the Xoo entries, which you had requested for deletion. --Volants 15:20, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

(@Volants) No, there are many more in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.

(@Xoolanguage) Why not simply move the entry to the correct spelling instead of requesting its deletion? The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 07:40, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm curious why there are so many of these. How did you managed to create sixty (or more) incorrect entries so quickly? Mglovesfun (talk) 15:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I think it's because of difficulties with the orthography of this particular language. -- Prince Kassad 15:34, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

(@Mglovesfun) I used an old source. Prince Kassad is right; the orthography has changed quite a bit. I'm now in possession of the most recent official dictionary (2009 2nd edition), so all this data I'm now slapping up on here is the most accurate (for now, at least...) Xoolanguage 15:38, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Right, although obsolete spellings are valid, as long as their in use. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

WT:ACCEL

In case you haven't found out about this yet, WT:ACCEL is a useful tool for automatically creating inflected forms, including !Xóõ plurals and diminutives. --Yair rand (talk) 21:24, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
