Navajo terms
Hi,

I was wondering if you have any citations/references that can attest the existence of the Navajo terms you added (other than nv.wikipedia.org). We have had issues before with users creating entries here for Navajo terms that were coined by nv.wikipedia users and have no usage in printed Navajo texts or dictionaries. Per our criteria for inclusion, such protologisms are to be excluded. I'm not saying that the terms you created necessarily fall into this category (I have not thoroughly checked sources); I just think you should be aware of this issue if you are not already, and that adding quotations is a good thing. 70.172.194.25 08:39, 21 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't know of any sources, sorry. You should ask, but he rarely answers people (for example a mate of mine asked him to review the category Category:nv:Countries in Oceania and Category:nv:Australia, but he never answered). However if these terms have been coined by users (note that Seb is the only contributor to the Navajo Wikipedia, everyone else seems to be blocked). It is quite unfortunate that their are little sources for Navajo other than Wikipedia, which seems to have turned into some sort of personal wiki for Seb. Anyways, I hope that helps. Thanks.

Redirects
Hi. Have a peek at Redirections. We don't use them for things that are just synonyms (same meaning). Then you might want to use "alternate forms". Equinox ◑ 02:48, 24 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay. I have fixed the page. SwearingCreeper (talk) 02:49, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Headword templates
Hi,

When you create an entry please add a headword template. For example, on bulumakau you could put right under the ===Noun=== header. Doing so will cause the entry to be categorized correctly under "Fijian lemmas" and "Fijian nouns". I just happened to notice several Fijian entries popping up in a scan of pages with specific formatting errors and figured the most efficient way to stop the issue from growing would be to inform you of it. Thank you for writing the entries, by the way. 70.172.194.25 07:41, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
