[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.
Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!
This isn't one of the usual cases where things blow up because you didn't check for the obvious. It's one of a few dozen entries where @Surjection has managed to keep the page from running out of memory only by using various tricks and custom templates. You just happened to be the lucky person who peeled off the duct tape that was keeping it from blowing everything to kingdom come. By my calculation, the page was already within .7% of the maximum. Just removing {{l-lite}} was enough to blow past that. Adding a ton of derived terms just added insult to injury. Unless Surjection can come up with a way to make it work, I would recommend against adding the derived terms, even using {{l-lite}}. Sorry! Chuck Entz (talk) 04:12, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Ahh, love the melodramaticness! I'll put the derived terms on a subpage. Almostonurmind (talk) 04:31, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
