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 (EL) 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.

Redirects
Hi. Redirects by capital and full stop are not needed. Equinox ◑ 18:12, 6 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I partly disagree. Redirects with a full stop are OK VealSociedad (talk) 01:35, 8 February 2022 (UTC)


 * @User:Equinox: Please undelete the pages that you recently deleted. They are needed for interwiki linking from Swedish wiktionary. Thas has been discussed a few times. Until there is a better global solution, the redirects are needed, or at least sufficiently useful and tolerable (2021-02 2020-12). Taylor 49 (talk) 19:18, 9 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I see there is some extra-wiki discussion. However, it can't be unilateral. We here on en.wiki don't create such pages and you need to get consensus here, too. I'm sorry, I know bureaucracy is annoying, but we won't do it unless we are convinced. (Sorry for my very slow response, too. I don't read my replies often.) Equinox ◑ 12:00, 21 February 2022 (UTC)


 * @User:Equinox: One person answered that they are OK long ago, plus one person recently here. Nobody against. Where is your consensus or policy for deletion? You do not have to do too much. Just keep away from those redirects. Taylor 49 (talk) 22:10, 21 February 2022 (UTC)


 * We don't do it that way. Discuss at WT:BP if you like. I'm not specifically hanging around trying to undo all your work but I will get rid of these things if I see them because they are just not how en.wikt does it, currently, and I think this was decided for meaningful reasons, not just to annoy you!
