Creating new entries
Main article: Wiktionary:Entry layout § List of headings; in particular, subsection § Headings after the definitions, which describes the order of the headings.

Noun
Headword line
 * 1) Meaning 1
 * 2)  Meaning 2

Translations

 * French: foo
 * Portuguese: bar, qux


 * Handy link for creating new (English) entries using pre-made templates based on the type of word: MediaWiki:Searchmenu-new
 * How does one make it support Portuguese entries? Maybe creating something like English entry templates? But in Entry templates there are sections for English, French, Hebrew and Swedish, each linking to their own overview page in the Wiktionary namespace; then, in Category:Entry templates there's these four plus one page for Pubjabi; (there are many more language-specific subcategories, but many of them contain only the templates, not the overview page; and in any case, none of them are for Portuguese). And all the while, in MediaWiki:Searchmenu-new I only get "English", "American Sign Language" and Swedish in the dropdown menu 🤔... Needs further investigation.
 * See also Help:Starting a new page
 * Not sure why MediaWiki:Noexactmatch and Project-Nogomatch are kept around (their talk pages have some discussion about that)
 * MediaWiki:Newarticletext should probably be customized, to match the convenience of MediaWiki:Searchmenu-new

Quotations
Basic template:
 * 1) Word definition.
 * 2) * Year, Author, Title, Publisher, page ###:
 * Quotation including the word.

Specific example (for a film quotation):
 * 1) Word definition.

 * Appendix:Glossary — list of terms used by Wiktionary, and their definitions
 * Category:Kabuverdianu language (especially Category:Kabuverdianu lemmas)
 * See also entries with Kabuverdianu translations
 * There's also a Kabuverdianu Wiktionary in the incubator (list of terms)
 * There's a  channel in the Discord server
 * Words that come from Portuguese should be marked as "inherited" in the Etymology section. See for example taak
 * See also wikidata:User:Waldyrious
 * Appendix:Unicode
 * Rhymes:English (links in that table allow navigating to the pages listing rhyme pages stressed in that vowel)
 * From Entry layout: Translations should be given in English entries, and also in Translingual entries for taxonomic names. Entries for languages other than English and Translingual should not have Translations sections. Any translation between two foreign languages is best handled on the Wiktionaries in those languages.
 * I asked to make this guideline more conspicuous here.

False friends
Goal: Expand Appendix:False friends between English and Portuguese.


 * My own list
 * pt:Apêndice:Falsos cognatos/Inglês
 * pt:Categoria:Falso cognato (Inglês)
 * Appendix:Glossary of false friends (has false friends between English and various languages, including Portuguese)
 * Other false friends pages between English and Romance languages: French, Spanish and Italian (the words there are likely to exist for Portuguese as well)
 * Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:U:pt:false friend
 * Only one entry as of Aug 2023... maybe the mechanism should be different? Or should we add the template to all the pages in the appendix (once it is expanded)?

Assorted

 * Replace pt with ..., as done here
 * Review Beer parlour/2011/April
 * Why isn't User talk:Conrad.Irwin/editor.js working for me?
 * Propose adding a section for nouns in Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion § Idiomatic phrases, to cover expressions with a "something" placeholder like give something a whirl, take something to the grave, or not touch something with a barge pole, as well as those with a "someone" placeholder like do someone one better. See.
 * Create take someone up on, and link to it from take up
 * Raise Wiktionary talk:Thesaurus in one of the main discussion rooms for broader discussion.
