Welcome

[edit]

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 on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
  • Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
  • Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; 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.
  • If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
  • Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
  • You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Arabic entry

[edit]

Please be careful when adding entries. You created an Arabic entry for تلمسان‎, but you used the language codes en and de in various templates for some reason. Acolyte of Ice (talk) 12:42, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Linking to images

[edit]

I don't know about other language Wiktionaries, but here on the English one including images in entries is done with the "File" prefix, as per my edit. Acolyte of Ice (talk) 13:22, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Adding "+" to translations

[edit]

The "+" is strictly for adding a link to an entry with the same spelling as that of the translation on the Wiktionary for the language of the translation. At genetics, you changed the Arabic translations to {{t+|ar|عِلْمُ وِرَاثَة|m}} and {{t+|ar|وِرَاثِيَّات|p}}. That added links to the pages ar:علم وراثة and ar:وراثيات at Arabic Wiktionary- neither of which exist. There is a bot that periodically adds and removes these, or I would have reverted your edit.
