Welcome!
Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions 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.
 * If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide to 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.
 * 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.

Also, please add a BabelBox to your userpage so we can help you with the languages you'll be working in.

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!

Regional Spelling Variation
Please stop adding UK spellings to lists where there's already a US spelling. I think most UK-English speakers know that connection is the same as connexion, so listing both just clutters up the entries. Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't create entries for regional spelling variants- just stop the "connection" ---> "connection, connexion" type of edits.

Also remember that we have lots of people contributing from all over the world, so switching entries from one regional spelling to another could be taken wrong- we don't need to start massive Pondian edit wars. The rule of thumb is, stick with the standard that the entry started out with- if the entry started out with color, don't change it to colour- and vice versa. Not that everyone follows this, and we all forget to think about such things from time to time- just don't make a career of "fixing" other peoples legitimate edits.

 * I’ll amplify the second point. Please read Style guide. Edits like this one are against our policy. —Michael Z. 2013-03-03 16:16 z 

Cardinal numbers
Bear in mind the cardinal numbers are an infinite set. They're also not words in any language, so much as symbols. Symbols which carry meaning, granted, but not words. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:00, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Reight then, I'll keep that in mind. I just thought they needed adding to the wiki like they were 'wanted' or summat. Tony6ty4ur (talk) 16:52, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
