Welcome
Welcome to Wiktionary! A couple of notes about translation tables: translations should always be formatted like entries (so they should start with a lowercase letter, unless the entry itself is something like John). Also, they are already in alphabetical order. Jawi and Rumi are the two written forms of Malay, and thus belong under the Malay header; please don't move things around unless you know what you're doing. Thanks! I've put the boilerplate welcome message below.

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It 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.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:


 * 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 start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. The most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
 * If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
 * If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

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! —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:59, 12 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello, Metaknowledge! Thank you for your comments. I apologize for my ignorance - I stumbled upon a random Wiktionary article and realized, that adding a Latvian (my native) language translation is quite easy and didn't see a reason not to do it. My impression was, that, since the page can be edited by anyone, it is improbable that someone is actually keeping check on the articles. Therefore, I erroneously concluded, that some editors have added their translations without concern for alphabetic order.
 * Before I edit anything else, I will be sure to read the tutorials, so I do not make you or anyone else waste their time on correcting my mistakes.
 * Cheers! NoBiggieLV (talk) 23:02, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * No worries! We definitely try to keep check on things, although it can be hard. I appreciate your willingness to learn and help improve our Latvian content. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:04, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
