Help:Disputing a definition

This page deals with the procedures for contesting and removing definitions and words. If the change is minor (i.e. the meaning of the definition was not changed significantly, and/or it is unlikely that anyone will want to change it back), it is probably not necessary to discuss the change first; however, if you intend to alter a definition in a major way or remove it entirely, it is strongly recommended that you first discuss the change on a high-volume discussion page such as the Tea Room, Requests for Verification or Requests for Deletion so that others have an opportunity to give their opinions. It is advised not to use the entry's talk page for this purpose because the ratio of editors to entries on Wiktionary is so low that few editors may ever see it.

The Tea Room (TR)
This is the place to go for general discussion on the meanings of words. Make [ a new discussion in the Tea Room] and put on the entry in question to alert editors visiting that page to the discussion.

Requests for Verification (RFV)
This is the place to go if you question whether the word or sense in question actually exists. For a word or sense to be included, it must meet the "Attestation" section of the Criteria for Inclusion. Add a new English or non-English request on the requests for verification page and put the banner on the whole entry or  next to the sense in question.

Requests for Deletion (RFD)
This is the place for discussing whether the word in question meets any of the Criteria for Inclusion other than those within the "Attestation" section (e.g. if you don't think that a word is idiomatic). Make [ a new discussion on the RFD] and put the banner on the whole entry or  next to the sense in question.

If you believe that one definition is redundant to another definition, put next to it and discuss it on RFD also.

Stuff that is obviously rubbish
