Wiktionary:About Spanish/Todo

Hi, and welcome to the Spanish Translation page. This page is dedicated to working on Wiktionary and translating words from English to Spanish, and vice versa.

Currently there are quite a few tasks needing to be done:

Sorting
Every Spanish word needs to be categorized to help with the other sections of this project. An example of this would be borrar. This would be categorized as a verb, and an -ar verb. Use of the standard part of speech templates will not only make articles look the same but add the correct categories (see ). For hand-adding categories see the full list at.

Inflection
Since Spanish noun, verbs, and adjectives all have ways that they change with number, gender, or tense, their lemma entries should show these changes. Lemma entries for verbs are the infinitives, for adjectives the singular masculine forms, and nouns the singular (and if possible masculine) forms.
 * Verbs should should have a Conjugation header nested below the Verb header. Use, and, for irregular verbs, you'll need to add more information, which can be found at Module:es-verb.
 * Nouns should show how they change with number and gender using
 * Adjectives also need to show how they change with number and gender. Use.

Word Translation
Each English word needs to have its Spanish translation put under the right definition. Note: Only English words have a "Translations" section. Translations for Spanish words into other languages (not English) should be entered in the Spanish Wiktionary. Requests for phrases to be translated should be left here Two currently running tasks are:

Indirect links
Some words have meanings in other languages, and the links could be fixed. For example, links to the entry for the Spanish word should be coded as this:
