Protologisms
Hello. You may use WT:LOP to see and add protologisms. At the top of the page, there is a list of letters beginning with "English : A – B – C – D". These letters are links to various lists of protologisms in English. The respective lists may be edited through various "[edit]" buttons.

Please do not create new pages to ask questions about Wiktionary. For that purpose, you may use this link.

Also, do not type your e-mail where anyone can see it. If you provided your e-mail through the Special:Preferences of Wiktionary, then you activated the link Special:EmailUser/Sylviecarter, which in turn may be used by anyone to send e-mails to you. --Daniel. 00:08, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I am a first time user so learning the protocol as you have directed. Wiki needs to accommodate not just wizards at using your site but also people like myself who struggle at times to know where and how to navigate to get to a simply entry or contribution page on our user sites. I'm still unsure how to enter a newly termed word and I'm still unsure how I need to go about asking for help if I cannot find that link you sent me.


 * The addition of "mindscious" seems perfect on that list. You apparently copied the basic format (beginning with asterisk, sorting into alphabetical order, etc.) from other listed protologisms, thus resulting in a consistent overall format.
 * Please note that the link I sent to you was of the Information desk, a considerably long page where various people ask for questions about Wiktionary. Your question is the most recent, so it is in the bottom. In the future, other people may answer you on that very page, below your original message.
 * To differentiate your messages from messages of other people, I recommend typing four tildes (that is: ~ ) at the end of all your messages. The four tildes will automatically transform into your signature accompanied by date and time, like you can see in the end of my comments. It is not necessary to use the four tildes in the list of protologisms; only use them in discussion pages like here and in the Information desk. --Daniel. 01:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Cool and thank you Daniel, I'm relieved and also keen to learn when I can move my coined word into the wiki dictionary proper....when it is published in my book or when? What is the criteria for birthing a new word? Please advise and or point me to the reference on this?Sylviecarter 06:00, 27 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I noticed that, in the end of your message above, there are four grave accents (that is: ````).
 * If, by chance, you have followed my recommendation to provide a signature, please remember that the right way to to it is by typing tildes (that is, once more: ~ ), not grave accents.
 * As for your particular question "when it is published in my book or when?", I could not understand exactly what you mean. If you are asking about a Wiktionary in printed form, I believe one does not exist officially yet. If you want to see your contributions and show to other people how you edited Wiktionary, use Special:Contributions/Sylviecarter. Otherwise, please reword your question, so I'll hopefully be able to answer it properly.
 * Notably, there is a policy on how to create protologisms, so I'll link it here: WT:PL.
