Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or make a hyperlink. The Wiktionary tutorial is a more wordy, multi-page document that helps you through those same formatting issues, and also touches on a couple of other issues relevant to editing.
 * The document What Wiktionary is not may be of interest. In particular, if you've edited Wikipedia in the past, you should note that Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia and does not have Wikipedia-style page titles.
 * There is a technical guide to how to start a new page. But you'll also want to look at our guidelines for how to format an entry (what goes where) and our criteria for inclusion (what can be included), which are our two main policy documents. (You can get a feel for how to format an entry by looking at existing entries.)
 * The sandbox is a safe place for testing markup.
 * The FAQ has, of course, some frequently (and some infrequently) asked questions, and their answers.

I hope you enjoy editing here! By the way, you can sign your comments on talk (discussion) pages using four tildes, like this:, which automatically produces your name (or IP number if you're not signed in) and the current date and time. If you have any questions, then see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my talk page. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 18:10, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

WS:prostitute
I have reverted your recent addition to WS:prostitute, as many of the redlinkes items that you have added appear unattestable. The attestation requirement is specified at WT:CFI. Basically, for a term to be includable, it must be found used in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year. Searches that I use to find whether a term is attestable include Google books and Google groups; attestation anywhere on the world wide web does not suffice. For instance, and  return zero entries. If you decide to add the terms back, please make sure you only add those that are actually attestable. From my random checking, some of the terms that you have added did appear attestable. What you need to do is a bit of filtering, separating the attestable terms from the unattestable ones. Ideally, you would enter terms in the main namespace together with the attestation instead of to Wikisaurus. An example of attestation is this: Citations:astraphobia. --Dan Polansky 12:33, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
