Welcome
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, they are moved by bot, and will appear presently in the Transwiki: namespace.

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. Conrad.Irwin 01:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks, I think.... wasn't my plan to go mucking about in policy, but please consider me throughly chastised by your welcome. :-) Hersfold 01:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If I wasn't liable to be blocked, I'd suggest creating an essay based on this ;) Shappy 21:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
