== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

Hello, is there a pidgin version of this site? It is not my native language but sometimes it helps me for learning when I have trouble understanding. I read the pidgin Bible sometimes and also the pidgin edition of BBC from time to time. I think I have some kind of aphasia likely but people think I am just making fun. I keep losing my accounts so I just use my address instead but I worry I will be banned for not following the rules. I don't really get the rules at lot of the time. Please advise.

Proposal to move Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (from simple wiki) to simple wiktionary. It is mainly just stating the definition of the word, which should be wiktionary's function. A [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simple_talk#Proposal discussion] had already begun at simple wikipedia.

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

== Help us decide the name of the new Abstract Wikipedia project ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;function1&quot;/&gt;
{{int:Hello}}. Please help pick a name for the new Abstract Wikipedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki that will enable users to combine functions from [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] and data from Wikidata in order to generate natural language sentences in any supported languages. These sentences can then be used by any Wikipedia (or elsewhere).

There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with votes beginning on 20 October and 17 November 2025. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on mid-December 2025. If you would like to participate, then '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Abstract Wikipedia naming contest|please learn more and vote now]]''' at meta-wiki.

== A new layout proposal ==

I'd like to suggest a new layout. It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
=== Meanings ===
countable noun
* (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]]
* (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]]
* (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] 
verb
* (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]]
* (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]]  
* (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]]

=== Pronunciations ===
* {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}}
* {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}}
* {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}}
* {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}}

=== Examples ===
* (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]].
* (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]].
* (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''.

=== Synonyms ===
* (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]]
* (2) [[jump]]
* (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]]
* (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] 
* (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]]
* (6) [[syn|flinch]]

=== Antonyms ===
* (1) [[finale]]
* (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]]
* (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]]
* (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]]
* (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above

=== Collocations ===

=== Inflection ===
etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change.

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

Hello, is there a pidgin version of this site? It is not my native language but sometimes it helps me for learning when I have trouble understanding.

Proposal to move Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (from simple wiki) to simple wiktionary. It is mainly just stating the definition of the word, which should be wiktionary's function.

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

== A new layout proposal ==

I'd like to suggest a new layout. It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
=== Meanings ===
countable noun
* (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]]
* (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]]
* (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] 
verb
* (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]]
* (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]]  
* (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]]

=== Pronunciations ===
* {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}}
* {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}}
* {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}}
* {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}}

=== Examples ===
* (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]].
* (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]].
* (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''.

=== Synonyms ===
* (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]]
* (2) [[jump]]
* (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]]
* (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] 
* (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]]
* (6) [[syn|flinch]]

=== Antonyms ===
* (1) [[finale]]
* (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]]
* (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]]
* (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]]
* (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above

=== Collocations ===

=== Inflection ===
etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

Hello, is there a pidgin version of this site? It is not my native language but sometimes it helps me for learning when I have trouble understanding. I read the pidgin Bible sometimes and also the pidgin edition of BBC from time to time. I think I have some kind of aphasia likely but people think I am just making fun. I keep losing my accounts so I just use my address instead but I worry I will be banned for not following the rules. I don't really get the rules at lot of the time. Please advise.

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

== A new layout proposal ==

I'd like to suggest a new layout. It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
=== Meanings ===
countable noun
* (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]]
* (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]]
* (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] 
verb
* (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]]
* (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]]  
* (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]]

=== Pronunciations ===
* {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}}
* {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}}
* {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}}
* {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}}

=== Examples ===
* (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]].
* (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]].
* (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''.

=== Synonyms ===
* (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]]
* (2) [[jump]]
* (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]]
* (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] 
* (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]]
* (6) [[syn|flinch]]

=== Antonyms ===
* (1) [[finale]]
* (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]]
* (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]]
* (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]]
* (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above

=== Collocations ===

=== Inflection ===
etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

== Help us decide the name of the new Abstract Wikipedia project ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;function1&quot;/&gt;
{{int:Hello}}. Please help pick a name for the new Abstract Wikipedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki that will enable users to combine functions from [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] and data from Wikidata in order to generate natural language sentences in any supported languages. These sentences can then be used by any Wikipedia (or elsewhere).

There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with votes beginning on 20 October and 17 November 2025. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on mid-December 2025. If you would like to participate, then '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Abstract Wikipedia naming contest|please learn more and vote now]]''' at meta-wiki.

== A new layout proposal ==

I'd like to suggest a new layout. It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
=== Meanings ===
countable noun
* (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]]
* (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]]
* (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] 
verb
* (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]]
* (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]]  
* (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]]

=== Pronunciations ===
* {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}}
* {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}}
* {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}}
* {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}}

=== Examples ===
* (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]].
* (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]].
* (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''.

=== Synonyms ===
* (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]]
* (2) [[jump]]
* (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]]
* (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] 
* (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]]
* (6) [[syn|flinch]]

=== Antonyms ===
* (1) [[finale]]
* (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]]
* (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]]
* (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]]
* (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above

=== Collocations ===

=== Inflection ===
etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

Hello, is there a pidgin version of this site? It is not my native language but sometimes it helps me for learning when I have trouble understanding. I read the pidgin Bible sometimes and also the pidgin edition of BBC from time to time. I think I have some kind of aphasia likely but people think I am just making fun.

Proposal to move Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (from simple wiki) to simple wiktionary. It is mainly just stating the definition of the word, which should be wiktionary's function.

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

== A new layout proposal ==

I'd like to suggest a new layout. It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
=== Meanings ===
countable noun
* (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]]
* (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]]
* (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] 
verb
* (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]]
* (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]]  
* (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]]

=== Pronunciations ===
* {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}}
* {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}}
* {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}}
* {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}}

=== Examples ===
* (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]].
* (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]].
* (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''.

=== Synonyms ===
* (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]]
* (2) [[jump]]
* (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]]
* (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] 
* (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]]
* (6) [[syn|flinch]]

=== Antonyms ===
* (1) [[finale]]
* (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]]
* (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]]
* (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]]
* (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above

=== Collocations ===

=== Inflection ===
etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

== My entry has been removed ==

I created the entry [[be to]], but it has been C3NS0R3D by the user &quot;MinoC3NS0R3D&quot; with the information C3NS0R3D. I find it unfair and wrong:
* Firstly, it's not a word. It's a phrase.
* Secondly, phrases/idioms are allowed here. See [[Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion]].
* Thirdly, this phrase definitelly exists. See: https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/be-to-do-something
What should I do? Should I create the same entry again? [[User:Fajeweks|Fajeweks]] ([[User talk:Fajeweks|talk]]) 07:24, 12 July 2026 (UTC)</text>

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

Hello, is there a pidgin version of this site? It is not my native language but sometimes it helps me for learning when I have trouble understanding. I read the pidgin Bible sometimes and also the pidgin edition of BBC from time to time. I think I have some kind of aphasia likely but people think I am just making fun. I keep losing my accounts so I just use my address instead but I worry I will be banned for not following the rules. I don't really get the rules at lot of the time. Please advise.

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

== A new layout proposal ==

I'd like to suggest a new layout. It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
=== Meanings ===
countable noun
* (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]]
* (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]]
* (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] 
verb
* (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]]
* (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]]  
* (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]]

=== Pronunciations ===
* {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}}
* {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}}
* {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}}
* {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}}

=== Examples ===
* (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]].
* (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]].
* (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''.

=== Synonyms ===
* (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]]
* (2) [[jump]]
* (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]]
* (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] 
* (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]]
* (6) [[syn|flinch]]

=== Antonyms ===
* (1) [[finale]]
* (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]]
* (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]]
* (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]]
* (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above

=== Collocations ===

=== Inflection ===
etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

== Help us decide the name of the new Abstract Wikipedia project ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;function1&quot;/&gt;
{{int:Hello}}. Please help pick a name for the new Abstract Wikipedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki that will enable users to combine functions from [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] and data from Wikidata in order to generate natural language sentences in any supported languages. These sentences can then be used by any Wikipedia (or elsewhere).

There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with votes beginning on 20 October and 17 November 2025. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on mid-December 2025. If you would like to participate, then '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Abstract Wikipedia naming contest|please learn more and vote now]]''' at meta-wiki.

== A new layout proposal ==

I'd like to suggest a new layout. It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
=== Meanings ===
countable noun
* (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]]
* (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]]
* (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] 
verb
* (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]]
* (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]]  
* (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]]

=== Pronunciations ===
* {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}}
* {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}}
* {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}}
* {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}}

=== Examples ===
* (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]].
* (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]].
* (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''.

=== Synonyms ===
* (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]]
* (2) [[jump]]
* (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]]
* (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] 
* (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]]
* (6) [[syn|flinch]]

=== Antonyms ===
* (1) [[finale]]
* (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]]
* (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]]
* (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]]
* (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above

=== Collocations ===

=== Inflection ===
etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

Hello, is there a pidgin version of this site? It is not my native language but sometimes it helps me for learning when I have trouble understanding. I read the pidgin Bible sometimes and also the pidgin edition of BBC from time to time. I think I have some kind of aphasia likely but people think I am just making fun. I keep losing my accounts so I just use my address instead but I worry I will be banned for not following the rules. I don't really get the rules at lot of the time. Please advise.

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

== A new layout proposal ==

I'd like to suggest a new layout. It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version):

&lt;blockquote&gt;
=== Meanings ===
countable noun
* (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]]
* (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]]
* (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] 
verb
* (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]]
* (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]]  
* (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]]

=== Pronunciations ===
* {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}}
* {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}}
* {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}}
* {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}}

=== Examples ===
* (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''.
* (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]].
* (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]].
* (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''.

=== Synonyms ===
* (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]]
* (2) [[jump]]
* (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]]
* (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] 
* (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]]
* (6) [[syn|flinch]]

=== Antonyms ===
* (1) [[finale]]
* (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]]
* (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]]
* (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]]
* (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above

=== Collocations ===

=== Inflection ===
etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

== Use of [[:Template:verb]] and [[:Template:verb2]] in ''[[:lies]]'' and ''[[:lying]]'' ==

I created the entry [[be to]], but it has been removed by the user &quot;Minora (the last letter 'r' was censored)&quot; with the information &quot;[[Wiktionary:Deletion#A4|A4]]: No such word exists&quot;. I find it unfair and wrong:
* Firstly, it's not a word. It's a phrase.
* Secondly, phrases/idioms are allowed here. See [[Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion]].
* Thirdly, this phrase definitelly exists. See: https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/be-to-do-something

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... ==
[[phab:T66315]]

Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project.
The [[d:Q16222597|Wikidata item]] [[w:|sitelink]] currently found under the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''General''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section of the '''Tools''' sidebar menu will move into the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #54595d;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;''In Other Projects''&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; section.

We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the   [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Discussion page]] before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|the project page]].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We welcome your feedback and questions.&lt;br&gt; [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

== 'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally. ==

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Projects/Move_Wikidata_item_link|Please let us know]] if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -[[m:User:Danny Benjafield (WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Migration to Parsoid ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
Hello everyone!  I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary.  We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.

There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

Hello, is there a pidgin version of this site? It is not my native language but sometimes it helps me for learning when I have trouble understanding. I read the pidgin Bible sometimes and also the pidgin edition of BBC from time to time. I think I have some kind of aphasia likely but people think I am just making fun. I keep losing my accounts so I just use my address instead but I worry I will be banned for not following the rules. I don't really get the rules at lot of the time. Please advise.

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

Hi all, we want to let you know that [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] is coming to your project soon! When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles.

A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks!

Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]].

We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-ve&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-wikilambda-user&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

Of course, we are happy to help in case there are questions or difficulties, and we are ready to listen to your feedback. Please ping me directly in case of necessity or reach out to me [[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|on my talk page]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!

Note some things:
* At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above
* Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries
* We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers
* I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/
Some advantages of the layout above:
* We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( )
* A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]]
* Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.)
* Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time)
* Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

What do you think in general? Is it an idea worth to consider? [[User:Aemitami|Aemitami]] ([[User talk:Aemitami|talk]]) 17:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, there, Aemitami. You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things.
:I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects.
:That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples.
:Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response.
:Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules. We can always use the help!

I created the entry [[be to]], but it has been removed by the user &quot;Minora (the last letter 'r' was censored)&quot; with the information &quot;[[Wiktionary:Deletion#A4|A4]]: No such word exists&quot;. I find it unfair and wrong:
* Firstly, it's not a word. It's a phrase.
* Secondly, phrases/idioms are allowed here. See [[Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion]].
* Thirdly, this phrase definitelly exists. See: https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/be-to-do-something
What should I do? Should I create the same entry again? [[User:Fajeweks|Fajeweks]] ([[User talk:Fajeweks|talk]]) 07:24, 12 July 2026 (UTC)</text>
