Welsh frequency list
[edit]Thanks for the Welsh frequency lists! From that, we can see that Wiktionary already has "most of" the basic Welsh words - I count about 30 in the top 200 that we're missing an entry for, which isn't so bad! I linked to the Welsh entry on Wiktionary, so if you would like to help us by adding some entries here, it'll be easier for you to see what's missing. Diolch! --G23r0f0i (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- Shwmae, G23r0f0i. Thanks for your message. I'm not sure where to look for the data your talking about. Do you have a link? Xxglennxx (talk) 14:19, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what data you're referring to, but if you have a look at some other Welsh entries, you can get a good idea of how to make your own. --G23r0f0i (talk) 20:08, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Headword templates
[edit]Hi - thanks for adding Welsh entries. One thing: you must use headword templates, which for Welsh are (mostly) of the form {{cy-noun}}, {{cy-verb}}, and so on. These go below the part of speech header. You can't just write it all out manually, as you did at cwfen. This is because it handles a bunch of things behind the scenes, like categorisation.

- One other thing: links (outside of definitions) should use the template
{{l}}(e.g.{{l|cy|cwfen}}). This is because it adds language tags, and so on. Theknightwho (talk) 14:18, 29 August 2024 (UTC)- Hi, @Theknightwho! Thank you for your help and for updating the words - I'm still new to editing/adding to Wiktionary, so really do appreciate your guidance! Xxglennxx (talk) 14:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Xxglennxx No problem. In general, non-English definitions tend to be glosses (i.e. they give equivalent English terms), rather than full sentences, though these can sometimes be followed by a fuller definition in brackets for convenience or clarification. In the case of the terms you've added, it's enough to simply give (e.g.) "coven", since they're exactly equivalent. Sometimes a longer definition may be needed if there's no English equivalent, though (e.g. see hiraeth), but we still only use capital letters/full stops in English definitions as a matter of house-style (though some entries can be a bit inconsistent with that at times).
