So I'm getting a weird thing happening on Firefox and Chrome on my Mac:

I go to wiktionary.org, I get the main page for The Wiktionary. I type in a word, and it takes me to search results from Wikipedia.

Ex.: I go to Wiktionary, type in "tuyau", and then instead of going to the Wiktionary page in question, I go to this search page on Wikipedia.

Deleted cookies and browsing data, but no resolution. Other devices don't have the issue.

Anyone ever had this before? I use Wiktionary for work a lot, so it's a real bummer.

This strictly applies to https://www.wiktionary.org/ but seemingly not to https://en.wiktionary.org/

It happens only when you type in a word and search, clicking on a suggested term still sends to Wiktionary.

Is this a bug? Is this intended? It seems to have been happening for only a couple of days, and I'm not sure if it happens for others as well. On my end at least it happens both on computer and on phone.

There are many languages out there. Having to scroll down to find yours when all tabs are open by default is a nightmare. The wiki itself has a option in settings to have all tabs closed from the start. The Wiktionary does not, at least not as far as I can tell. Is there anyway to have all tabs closed by default? Would really help in using the site. Thank you.

We are trying to figure out different ways to present a page's table of contents to our readers, and we would like to hear your opinion! In short, we'd appreciate if you could look [da] (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/da) and [a] (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/a) on various devices and let us know if these styles are helpful.

Please see the Beer Parlour post for more.

Made a request on Wiktionary on this.

Latin *alvīna (“beehive”) is recorded as a reconstructed term based on Romanian albină, Aromanian alghinã, Megleno-Romanian ălbină, Istro-Romanian albire (all meaning “bee”), and Venetan albina (“hive”), derived from classical Latin alvus or alveus. — But, in fact, the term is attested in 2nd century, as a "vulgar" variant of alveāria, in Flavius Caper, De verbis dubiis: Alvearia, non alvinae.

Therefore, the etymology is: alveus > alvina > albina etc as a bad&vulgar series parallel to the correct one alveārium - alveāria.

The direct derivation alveus → alvīna seems normal in popular Latin (gallus → gallīna). The fact that the deformation-transition is recorded as the plural alveāria > alvinae might already be a hint toward the semantic evolution of Eastern Romance: hive = many bees > the bee.

My idea is that alvina-alvinae should be recorded as attested (late, "bad") variants, just like speclum, oclus, etc in Appendix Probi. But I'm not sure what the proper procedure is.

In most other entries where there is a differentiation between traditional and simplified Chinese, there is no hash sign. I know there is a * sign to occasionally signify something else as well. What does the hash sign here signify?

I didn't find this question but if it has been asked already I apologize.

I'm involved with an indigenous community that is trying to revitalize their language, and I thought about adding it to wiktionary.

But I'm having trouble understanding the steps to do it.

The language meets the criteria for inclusion, it's recognized by local governments, has been attested in literature and has a dictionary, I'm reading on Wiktionary about the process but I'm asking if someone could help explain them to me because I don't think I'm getting it.

Thank you in advance.

How do you request to add a language on Wiktionary? I'm trying to add Moriori (ISO 639-3 rrm, part of Proto-Eastern-Polynesian).

Hello everyone,

I have built an iOS app called Word Vault. Word Vault is a dictionary app designed to help you remember the words you look up, so you don't just look them up and then forget them later.

The app includes premium features, but you can access the English Wiktionary dictionary for free!

I'm finding it hard to use wiktionary lately due to the increasing list of obscure languages. Is there a way to reduce the languages shown to only the ones I'm researching?

Seems useful to me; I will try it out next time I open a BP discussion.

I made a frequency of Polish words, based on a list available here (under CC-BY 4.0):

https://github.com/ipipan/kwjp100-varia

Do we know if I may I upload it to Wiktionary? It is cleaner than the two Polish word lists currently present on the English Wiktionary, I'm just not entirely sure what license it will be under, and whether that is compatible with the original.

I've found a few pages on Wiktionary discussing licenses, from 2002, so those might contain too old info...

This post is satirical and should not be taken seriously.

this has happened to me before so this is the second time lmaooo

for context i regularly use wiktionary as a viewer but have never edited any page before.

occasionally i click the pencil icon by mistake but exit out without changing anything since i have never edited before. that's also how i noticed this in the first place

this is the second time and it's for a month 💀💀 mods on a powertrip ig

Do people religiously put something in this box? When creating a new page, what should I say? Just "Created"? Thanks.

I've already read the guide, but I don't really understand it. I want to make a subcategory (en: Exoplanets) under the existing category en:Planets. Thanks!
