text" href="https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Main_Page/Old_2007&diff=next&oldid=240210">14 December 2002</a>, two days after the founding of Wiktionary. Although there were several early attempts to begin a Word of the Day on Wiktionary, the first official WOTD was posted on 10 January 2006. </p><p>Considerable opposition to the now wildly popular WOTD was raised, as it was felt that one full year’s supply of terms should be prepared before it appeared on the <a href="/wiki/Main_Page" class="mw-redirect" title="Main Page">Main Page</a>. That took over a year to happen. </p><p>In 2007, the <a class="external text" href="https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=featuredfeed&feed=wotd">RSS feed</a> was created, then an <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://tools.wikimedia.de/~cmackenzie/wotd-rss-b.php">alternate</a> feed (no longer operational) was later added. In July and August 2007, the WOTD was added to the <a class="external text" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/daily-article-l">Wikimedia Daily Article Mailing List</a>. </p><p>Also in early 2007, the entries started being marked with <code style="white-space:pre-wrap">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:was_wotd#top" title="Template:was wotd">was wotd</a>}}</code> to prevent duplicates, and an alphabetic index (which has since failed <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary_talk:Word_of_the_day/Archive/Alphabetic" title="Wiktionary talk:Word of the day/Archive/Alphabetic">RFD</a>) was added. </p><p>No voting process currently exists for deciding the terms that get featured as WOTD. The volunteers managing it use a set of criteria to ensure adequate variety for any given month’s batch of WOTDs. For details, please see “<a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Word_of_the_day/Nominations" title="Wiktionary:Word of the day/Nominations">Wiktionary:Word of the day/Nominations</a>”. Before entries finally make it into the spotlight, they are vetted and tidied up to ensure they are properly formatted and referenced, have suitable quotations, and so on. Only then will they be awesome enough to show to the world! </p><p><span class="error"><strong>Warning:</strong> Default sort key "Word Of The Day" overrides earlier default sort key "WORD OF THE DAY".</span> </p>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Word_of_the_day&oldid=82534614">https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Word_of_the_day&oldid=82534614</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Special:Categories" title="Special:Categories">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wiktionary" title="Category:Wiktionary">Wiktionary</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wiktionary_archives" title="Category:Wiktionary archives">Wiktionary archives</a></li></ul></div><div id="mw-hidden-catlinks" class="mw-hidden-catlinks mw-hidden-cats-hidden">Hidden categories: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wiktionary_pages_with_shortcuts" title="Category:Wiktionary pages with shortcuts">Wiktionary pages with shortcuts</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Pages_with_DEFAULTSORT_conflicts" title="Category:Pages with DEFAULTSORT conflicts">Pages with DEFAULTSORT conflicts</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Word_of_the_day_archive" title="Category:Word of the day archive">Word of the day archive</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </div> <div id="mw-navigation"> <h2>Navigation menu</h2> <div id="mw-head"> <nav id="p-personal" class="mw-portlet mw-portlet-personal vector-user-menu-legacy vector-menu" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label" > <h3 id="p-personal-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Personal tools</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"> <li id="pt-anonuserpage" class="mw-list-item"><span title="The user page for the IP address you are editing as">Not logged in</span></li><li id="pt-anontalk" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Special:MyTalk" title="Discussion about edits from this IP address [n]" accesskey="n"><span>Talk</span></a></li><li id="pt-anoncontribs" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Special:MyContributions" title="A list of edits made from this IP address [y]" accesskey="y"><span>Contributions</span></a></li><li id="pt-createaccount" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Wiktionary%3AWord+of+the+day" title="You are encouraged to create an account and log in; however, it is not mandatory"><span>Create account</span></a></li><li id="pt-login" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Wiktionary%3AWord+of+the+day" title="You are encouraged to log in; however, it is not mandatory [o]" accesskey="o"><span>Log in</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </nav> <div id="left-navigation"> <nav id="p-namespaces" class="mw-portlet mw-portlet-namespaces vector-menu-tabs vector-menu-tabs-legacy vector-menu" aria-labelledby="p-namespaces-label" > <h3 id="p-namespaces-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Namespaces</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"> <li id="ca-nstab-project" class="selected mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Word_of_the_day" title="View the project page [c]" accesskey="c"><span>Project page</span></a></li><li id="ca-talk" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Wiktionary_talk:Word_of_the_day" rel="discussion" title="Discussion about the content page [t]" accesskey="t"><span>Discussion</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </nav> <nav id="p-variants" class="mw-portlet mw-portlet-variants emptyPortlet vector-menu-dropdown vector-menu" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" > <input type="checkbox" id="p-variants-checkbox" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" data-event-name="ui.dropdown-p-variants" class="vector-menu-checkbox" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" > <label id="p-variants-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">English</span> </label> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"> </ul> </div> </nav> </div> <div id="right-navigation"> <nav id="p-views" class="mw-portlet mw-portlet-views vector-menu-tabs vector-menu-tabs-legacy vector-menu" aria-labelledby="p-views-label" > <h3 id="p-views-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Views</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"> <li id="ca-view" class="selected mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Word_of_the_day"><span>Read</span></a></li><li id="ca-viewsource" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Word_of_the_day&action=edit" title="This page is protected.
