We don't allow use of wikis as sources for any language. That's especially true for wikis in dead languages such as Old English.

Old English died out almost a thousand years ago, and the body of text that survives from then is limited in many ways. If no record survives of someone writing about something in Old English a thousand years ago, we have no words in Old English for those things. Wikis have to write about all kinds of things we don't have Old English words for, so they're constantly making things up to fill in the gaps. That makes their version of Old English an artificial language that only looks like Old English.

If you can't find it in one of the dictionaries that are based solely on ancient usage, don't try to add it here. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 03:43, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
