'''Welcome!'''
Hello, [[Wiktionary:Welcome, newcomers|welcome to Wiktionary]], and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
* [[Help:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]] is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create [[hyperlink]]s. Feel free to practice in the [[Wiktionary:Sandbox|sandbox]]. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short [[Wiktionary:Tutorial|tutorial]].
* [[Wiktionary:Entry layout explained|Entry layout explained]] (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
* Our [[Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion|Criteria for inclusion]] (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that [[Wiktionary:What Wiktionary is not|Wiktionary is not]] for a higher level overview.
* The [[Help:FAQ|FAQ]] aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several [[Help:Contents|help pages]] that you can browse for more information.
* We have [[Wiktionary:Discussion rooms|discussion rooms]] in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a [[Wiktionary:Glossary|glossary]] of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common [[Help:Interacting with humans|communication issues]].
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a [[Wiktionary:Wiktionarians|Wiktionarian]]! If you have any questions, bring them to the [[Wiktionary:Information desk]], or ask me on [[User talk:EncycloPetey|my talk page]]. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.
Again, welcome! --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] 04:33, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
