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.

Hittile
Hi. I saw this entry on Special:RecentChanges and it needs a bit of work. For one, it is not obvious what the definition is. Does it mean a Rapier missile? Second, is the word always capitalized? If not it needs to be moved to hittile (lower case). Third, the text "Example:That is why they are called missiles and not hittiles (when a missile misses its target)" is a bit uninformative and I'm not sure what it's for. Thanks for taking the time to help Wiktionary however. &mdash;Internoob 03:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

I do not know. I have heard the word hittile used by defense contractors and the military over the years and looked it up and saw it used on the Rapier as an alternative name for the system. Since most people will not get the meaning of hittile, the humor and short comings of missiles will go over the heads of most non-rocket type people and be missed.Do what you think is correct.Septagram 17:57, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
