Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. 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 create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.
 * Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including, there is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

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.

Again, welcome! --EncycloPetey 17:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Ginger Beer
Hi, I just have a style question. I noticed you changed the vertical list of Chinese translations into a horizontal list on the ginger beer page. Is that how I should format the translations next time?
 * Yes. All tranlsations are listed by language.  The languages appear in alphabetical order as separate bullets, but multiple tranlsations for a single language are as a list separated by commas.  For Chinese, there are additional issues that I am not completely familiar woth.  So, if you have questions specific to Chinese (such as dealing with Traditional and Simplified forms), I recommend asking User:A-cai, who is our leading contributor in Chinese languages, and who knows Wiktionary format very well. --EncycloPetey 17:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
