Hello,welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.
If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look atHelp: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 createhyperlinks. Feel free to practice in thesandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a shorttutorial.
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 outLanguage considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
- OurCriteria 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 projectWikipedia, then you may find ourguide for Wikipedia users useful.
- If you have any questions, bring them toWiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
- You are encouraged to add aBabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.
Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!
Terms derived from inflected forms
[edit]Hi. When an term is derived from an inflected form (likethree cheers derived fromcheers), do you know if it is common practice to list the term as a derived term of the lemma (cheer) rather than of the inflected form? (I'm asking you because I know you've been working throughWiktionary:Todo/phrases not linked to from components.) Thanks. -excarnateSojourner (talk |contrib)20:57, 6 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
- It depends. Sometimes I'm not sure and I arbitrarily choose one. You see, I'm quite a sloppy editor, and generally recommend asking other users for their opinion.GreyishWorm (talk)21:04, 6 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

(Not why I reverted: I reverted because you added the audio before there was a clip, so it looked broken.) But are you sure this is /ɒŋi/ and not /ɒŋgi/? Cf.finger, singer etc. It's a bit of a classic phonetic textbook example. You just did it by copy-paste didn't you? Don't do that without a clue. (I think your audio is probably wrong too. But hard to tell with this stupid rare word.)Equinox◑03:19, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
- Take it to the Tea Room, and I'll re-record this stupid word again if necessaryGreyishWorm (talk)21:00, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
