Other guidelines
This is an auto-generated list of articles which represent discussions about how things are, or should be, done. Not all of these represent a community consensus, yet these attempts to codify current practice are as close to policy as has so far been necessary.

Other guidance
Contributors occasionally write articles which offer their perspective on elements of English Wiktionary, community, or working within the free-knowledge movement. Some of these are categorized in this auto-generated listing:

category = Essays ordermethod = sortkey order = ascending

"How things are done" on Wiktionary is a constantly changing, evolving thing.
