Also, please note for English and many other languages we have language specific head templates like, so you should use those instead of. See this diff here as an example. Acolyte of Ice (talk) 10:49, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay! Does it also need the |- ? Archearchy (talk) 10:51, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Pipes (|) are used to separate template paramaters, as you may already know. In this case, the dash (-) passed to the template is to indicate the noun is uncountable. Another situation you may encounter in English entries is if the plural is irregular. In that case you pass the actual plural to the template so it won't just erroneously add -s to the end.

 * Okay, so ? Archearchy (talk) 11:04, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * How can I fix error? In Damascus steel says German Damast, but Damast is cloth. Archearchy (talk) 11:05, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You mean in the translation table? Acolyte of Ice (talk) 11:08, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes! This is Duden's link https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Damast Archearchy (talk) 11:12, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, if it's wrong just delete it from the table, and if you know the correct translation add it. Acolyte of Ice (talk) 11:14, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Taxonomic names
It's good to see someone else interested in traditional technologies. I'm an amateur ethnobiologist with some background in botany and anthropology as well as linguistics. Let me know if I can help with anything.

When you give a taxonomic name, please use the taxlink template. It links to an article on the name (at Wikispecies by default, but you can make it link to English Wikipedia as well) and tags the entry so that those who are working on adding taxonomic-name entries to Wiktionary are aware of it. It will also tell you in preview if there's already an entry, in which case you can link to that directly.

There's also vern, that does something like that for common/vernacular names.

 * Thanks! Very useful. Does it give right italic for species, genus, and no italic for family, kingdom and all? Archearchy (talk) 09:00, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Countability
Please see User:Equinox for tips on countability. You can use "internal stress" without "a" or "the" (like "Internal stress is a thing") so that can be uncountable so you use the ~. Check my edit there. Equinox ◑ 10:44, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay! So internal stress is more countable because "much internal stress" is more normal then "many internal stresses"? And use ~ if it is both. Thanks! Archearchy (talk) 10:53, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Should I use the syn of template? Archearchy (talk) 10:55, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
