RFV nominations

When nominating something for WT:Requests for verification (as at bv Nederland), please don't forget to add a discussion over at the RFV page itself, otherwise the request for verification stays in limbo. (The RFV template generates a link allowing you to easily add the nomination to the RFV page; it shows up as a plus sign between parentheses, that is: ( ), in the template box.) — Mnemosientje (t · c) 14:56, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

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 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.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! This, that and the other (talk) 03:09, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Headword templates

These are required, even for inflected-form entries. If there aren't any for the language you're editing, use {{head|[language code]|[part of speech]}} or {{head|[language code]|[part of speech] forms}}, so a pronoun lemma form for Hamer-Banna would use {{head|amf|pronoun}} and a pronoun inflected-form entry for Hamer-Banna would use {{head|amf|pronoun form}}. This standardizes the formatting and puts the page in the right categories so one can find them from the language's main category page, for example: Category:Hamer-Banna language.

Template:ine-merrychristmas

I've deleted this. If you want to experiment, do it on your user page or on another website, thanks. PUC – 11:44, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Bit harsh, but PUC is not wrong - Saph668 (talk • contribs) if you didn't have the list backed up before PUC deleted it and would like to recreate it in userspace instead of the template namespace (where it indeed doesn´t belong), let me know, as a sysop I can retrieve data from deleted pages. Looked like a lot of effort went into it, and others have similar projects in subpages in userspace that are tolerated (e.g. User:Rua/Modern Germanic), so I'm sure people won't be bothered by it if you were to create a subpage of your userpage with the same content. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 18:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

I did have it saved, and TTO restored it to my user space already. The only reason I had it in a template was in case anyone wanted on their user page, but it apparently never got used. Thanks, though. -saph 🍏 19:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Ah good to see, didn't notice the page. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 21:22, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

spacing in IPA

Hi,

When you replace thin spaces in IPA transcription, please replace them with regular spaces so the delimiters don't overstrike the IPA characters. Thanks. kwami (talk) 07:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

I really do not see the point in this. It displays fine in our font. Is there some consensus or at least previous discussion about this? -saph668 (user—talk—contribs) 15:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Which font do you use?

It overlaps in the best IPA font, Gentium, because it does not have kerning.

(BTW, if you know of a better free IPA font, we should add that to the list in the WP article.) kwami (talk) 23:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

BTW, this changed the IPA, though I don't know Armenian to fix it. kwami (talk) 07:56, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't notice that, thanks. -saph668 (user—talk—contribs) 11:02, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

What -saph668 (user—talk—contribs) 18:28, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

chāh

Thanks for your rephrase of chāh example sentence. But, we understood differently here. What I meant is that, when someone drink too much alcohol for long time, we notice by looking at his face. Like Chang of skin colour or something.(completely affected by it) Then we say chah vaih. I didn't know how to translate accurately in English.

Ah, alright. Feel free to revert. -saph668 (user—talk—contribs) 16:21, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
