Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It 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.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:


 * Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. The most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
 * If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
 * If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the 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.

Etymology formatting
Hi,

Thanks for adding those Ladino words. One thing you may want to note is that, in a chain of derivations, the first parameter to the template is the language of the final word (so, for the entries you made, it should always be lad ).

What I mean is that this: From, from , from should be this: From, from , from Currently, the word is listed as a member of the category "Turkish terms derived from Old Turkic", instead of the desired "Ladino terms derived from Old Turkic". Thank you. By the way, what source are you using to find these words? 70.172.194.25 23:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * hi! I just noticed I had been making this error as you sent me this message. Thank you for taking the time to let me know! I'll be sure to use the correct template in the future.
 * I've been using this 1977 Ladino-French dictionary in the public domain:
 * https://archive.org/details/dictionnaire-du-judeo-espagnol-pdfdrive-1/page/n51/mode/2up
 * It doesn't have detailed etymologies, but often indicates a source language (e.g. Ottoman Turkish), so where possible I've been referring to the wiktionary entries in the source language and carrying over the etymologies to the new Ladino entries. AnachronicDoll (talk) 23:13, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That is a nice coincidence. By the way, the French book is a really good source; about a month ago I went through all the Ladino words derived from Hebrew, and I found that to be the best of the available resources. If you want, you can add a link to the dictionary to the page itself as a reference. See how it is done on niftar for example. 70.172.194.25 23:49, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
