In the left sidebar, you will find links to <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary" class="extiw" title="m:Wiktionary">other language versions of Wiktionary</a>, in which the definitions are presented in other languages; each Wiktionary has a language code in its URL that designates which language it uses for its explanations. </p><p>Designed as the lexical companion to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" class="extiw" title="w:Main Page">Wikipedia</a>, the encyclopedia project, Wiktionary has grown beyond a standard dictionary and now includes a <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Thesaurus" title="Wiktionary:Thesaurus">thesaurus</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Rhymes" title="Wiktionary:Rhymes">rhyme guide</a>, <a href="/wiki/Category:Phrasebooks_by_language" title="Category:Phrasebooks by language">phrasebooks</a>, language statistics and extensive appendices. We aim to include not only the definition of a word, but also enough information to really understand it. Thus, <a href="/wiki/etymology" title="etymology">etymologies</a>, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms, translations, spelling variants, non-standard spellings, etc., are included. </p><p>Wiktionary is a <a href="/wiki/wiki" title="wiki">wiki</a>, which means that you can edit it, and all the content is dual-licensed under both the <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License" title="Wiktionary:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:GNU_Free_Documentation_License" title="Wiktionary:GNU Free Documentation License">GNU Free Documentation License</a>. Before you contribute, you may wish to read through some of our <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Help" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiktionary:Help">Help</a> pages, and bear in mind that we do things quite differently from other wikis. In particular, we have strict <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Entry_layout" title="Wiktionary:Entry layout">layout conventions</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Criteria_for_inclusion" title="Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion">inclusion criteria</a>. Learn how to <a href="/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page" title="Help:Starting a new page">start a page</a>, how to <a href="/wiki/Help:How_to_edit_a_page" title="Help:How to edit a page">edit entries</a>, experiment in the <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Sandbox" title="Wiktionary:Sandbox">sandbox</a> and visit our <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Community_Portal" title="Wiktionary:Community Portal">Community Portal</a> to see how you can participate in the development of Wiktionary. </p><p>We have created <b>8,343,567</b> entries since starting in December 2002, and we’re still growing. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Editing_Wiktionary" data-mw-thread-id="h-Editing_Wiktionary"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Editing_Wiktionary"></span>Editing Wiktionary<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Editing_Wiktionary"></span></h2></div> <p>People like you are very active in building this project. While you are reading this, someone is likely editing one of our entries. Many knowledgeable people are already at work, but everybody is welcome! </p><p>Contributing does not require <a class="external text" href="https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup">logging in</a>, but we would prefer that you do, as it facilitates the administration of this site. (Note that logging in also prevents the IP address of your computer from being displayed in the <a class="external text" href="https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Welcome,_newcomers&action=history">page history</a>.) </p><p>You can dive in right now and add or alter a definition, add example sentences, or help us to format or categorize entries properly.

Please feel free to <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Be_bold_in_updating_pages" title="Wiktionary:Be bold in updating pages">be bold</a> in editing pages! </p><p>How could allowing everyone to edit produce a high-quality product instead of total disorder? Because most people want to help, and keeping it open to everyone creates the potential for making many good and ever-improving entries. Records are kept of all changes, so even unhelpful edits can easily be reverted by other users. To use a now-famous catchphrase, in essence: “<a href="/wiki/given_enough_eyeballs,_all_bugs_are_shallow" title="given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow">Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow</a>.” </p><p>To start, users might want to use the ‘<a href="/wiki/Special:RecentChanges" title="Special:RecentChanges">Recent changes</a>’ or ‘<a href="/wiki/Special:Random" title="Special:Random">Random page</a>’ link (found in the navigation box elsewhere on this page), to get an idea of the kinds of pages you can find here.
