First of all, "Guaraní" is not a typo. See our list of languages. Second, headword templates are required. {{head|gn|[part of speech]}}
will do for Guaraní entries: {{head|gn|noun}}
, {{head|gn|verb}}
, {{head|gn|adjective}}
, etc. Not only do they standardize the headword display, they also put the page in the right categories. Any edit without a headword template gets tagged by an abuse filter and someone like me will have to clean it up. I might as well give you our welcome template with links to our policies and other useful pages, though I know you've been around here for almost a year already. The part about the headword templates is covered in our Entry layout page:
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 (

Guaraní
[edit]Hi - you've already been asked not to chagne Guaraní to Guarani, but you're still doing it: [1]. Please stop. Theknightwho (talk) 12:05, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Icelandic IPA transcriptions
[edit]Thanks for your attempts at adding Icelandic IPA transcriptions, but you've been using a transcription system that doesn't match existing transcriptions so it breaks links to Rhymes pages. For instance, the t in gígabæti isn't aspirated and we use /aiː/, not /ajː/ (the Rhymes page is Rhymes:Icelandic/aiːtɪ, not Rhymes:Icelandic/ajːtʰɪ). The vowel length rules (to the extent that it is somewhat predictable) are described in w:Icelandic phonology#Vowel length and the rules for whether a written stop consonant is aspirated are described in w:Icelandic orthography#Consonants. Please follow the rules described in the Wikipedia articles and the system in existing transcriptions so that we have consistency and so that rhymes links work. — Eru·tuon 20:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
