Wiktionary is well over a decade old, so we've come up with standard, automated ways to do most of the things you're improvising. For instance, we have a very extensive infrastructure for the categories. If you want to create a category, the first thing you should do is put auto cat in it and click "Show preview". If you get normal category text, just click "Publish page" and you're done. If you get an ugly error message, click "Cancel"- you'll need to find out if there's a similar category that already exists and covers what you want. If you can't find one, ask at the Grease pit and, if it seems like a good idea, someone will add it to the modules for you. You could add it yourself, but I would advise getting to understand how things work before trying that. Chuck Entz (talk) 16:58, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
