User talk:Flameviper~enwiktionary

Hi, I glaced at your interesting new experiment. Please be sure what you come up with conforms to the general layout recommended in WT:ELE. Good luck. --Connel MacKenzie 17:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Here is the standard welcome template for Wikipedians joining Wiktionary:

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary!

If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own. Please take a moment to learn our basics before jumping in.

First, all articles should be in our standard format, even if they are not yet complete. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with it. You can use one of our pre-defined article templates by typing the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hitting 'Go'.

Notice that article titles are case-sensitive and are not capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized (Poland or January). Also, take a moment to familiarize yourself with our criteria for inclusion, since Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Don't go looking for a Village pump – we have a Beer parlour. Note that while Wikipedia likes redirects, Wiktionary deletes most redirects, (especially spelling variations) in favor of short entries. Please do not copy entries here from Wikipedia if they are in w:CAT:MtW; request the full history import instead, at WT:ID.

Finally, you can link Wikipedia pages, including your user page, using pagename,, or. Please do not create redirects to Wikipedia pages, though. They don't work.

We hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary and being a Wiktionarian. --Connel MacKenzie 17:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

This is not going to work.

There is no way that we can go around renumbering every parameter when we add a language; and multiple boxes are worse.

The idea of using the classes to get show/hide has been suggested before; but no one has gotten around to it. What you should do is copy to  (or whatever), and make it work. (I'm pretty sure you need a too, but  will serve as is.) If it works, and people like it, we can replace it into top (which you notice is protected for a reason!)

Or not. There is something about your style that seems awfully familiar ... Robert Ullmann 20:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Please rollback
Please start rolling back your recent changes. Your experiment has far too many problems to proceed with more than ONE single entry. When all but one have been rolled back, please discuss your proposal at length on WT:GP or WT:BP to hear all the reasons why it won't work. --Connel MacKenzie 21:03, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, we already have. Robert Ullmann 22:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Look, you can make this work. But not the way you are trying to do it.

First, create your own user subpage, don't play on important main namespace pages.

Then create a template for the top of the table. Not the whole table!

In the middle use

At the bottom use a copy of, adding the two end div tags.

And you can make it work, but I've looked at your edits and you need to learn more about the HTML or you are going to keep getting frustrated. Robert Ullmann 14:37, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Flameviper. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Flameviper~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:46, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 07:06, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
