That is, the key organizing principles are the relations of hyponymy (subclass) and hypernymy (superclass), and to a lesser extent meronymy (part of a whole) and holonymy (whole of the part). See also <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wiktionary:Semantic_relations?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Wiktionary:Semantic relations">Wiktionary:Semantic relations</a>. The design of Roget's 1911 thesaurus is somewhat similar in that it does not restrict the entries to lists of synonyms and antonyms; however, Roget's thesaurus does not use WordNet relations. The design of <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wiktionary:OED?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiktionary:OED">Oxford English Dictionary</a> thesaurus is somewhat similar in that it has a hierarchically organized thesaurus. However, its subordination relation is not a strict hyponymy but is in part thematic. By contrast, the thesaurus of <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wiktionary:Merriam-Webster?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Wiktionary:Merriam-Webster">Merriam-Webster</a> has synonyms, antonyms and words "related". Editors who want to create thesaurus entries that are primarily for lists of synonyms can do so without worrying about the other relations, but keep in mind that there should be only a single thesaurus entry for a synonym set, thereby avoiding duplication.</p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"> <h2 id="One_sense_per_entry" data-mw-thread-id="h-One_sense_per_entry"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-One_sense_per_entry"></span>One sense per entry<span data-mw-comment-end="h-One_sense_per_entry"></span></h2> </div> <p>Each entry should ideally have a single sense. Nonetheless, the format supports multiple senses for the cases where this seems to be the best option. It is usually possible to pick different headwords for different senses. Each entry should ideally stand for a semantic object; the headword should be in part an accident. The point is not to list all senses of the headword. Thus, there can be a single sense in <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:sound?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:sound">Thesaurus:sound</a>, and another sense of "sound" is covered at <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:inlet?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:inlet">Thesaurus:inlet</a>. If it becomes impossible to keep finding dedicated headwords, we may resort to disambiguating naming like "rich (wealthy)" or "rich, wealthy". Sometimes, the headword becomes less ambiguous by using a phrase: there is <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:English_language?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:English language">Thesaurus:English language</a>. WordNet seems to do fine mostly by the comma convention.</p> <p>To use the entry headword as a basis for covering all the senses of the headword would lead to a duplication of synonym rings covered in other headwords, at odds with the duplication-avoidance rationale for the thesaurus. Thus, there is no point in duplicating <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:spicy?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:spicy">Thesaurus:spicy</a> in <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:hot?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:hot">Thesaurus:hot</a>. By contrast, having a sense for an adjective and a sense for a noun in <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:German?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:German">Thesaurus:German</a> is a different use case and makes a little bit more sense, being caused by a lack of suitable English disambiguating headword unless one opts for "German person" and "German language" as headwords.</p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"> <h2 id="Multilingualism" data-mw-thread-id="h-Multilingualism"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Multilingualism"></span>Multilingualism<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Multilingualism"></span></h2> </div> <p>English Wiktionary Thesaurus shall contain entries for other languages than English<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wiktionary:Thesaurus?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>.</p> <p><a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Category:Thesaurus_entries_by_language?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Category:Thesaurus entries by language">Category:Thesaurus entries by language</a> features these entries.

The following conventions existed:</p> <ol type="A"> <li>No language code, native headword. For example: <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%B1?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:صار">Thesaurus:صار</a> (Arabic), <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:yax%C5%9F%C4%B1?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:yaxşı">Thesaurus:yaxşı</a> (Azerbaijani), <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:chat?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:chat">Thesaurus:chat</a> (French), <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:god?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:god">Thesaurus:god</a> (English and Danish). Entries in different languages with identically spelled titles are placed on the same Thesaurus page, exactly as we do for ordinary dictionary entries.</li> <li>Language code, native headword. For example: <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:fr:emb%C3%AAter?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Thesaurus:fr:embêter">Thesaurus:fr:embêter</a> (French), <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:sga:ar?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Thesaurus:sga:ar">Thesaurus:sga:ar</a> (Old Irish), <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:non:sver%C3%B0?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Thesaurus:non:sverð">Thesaurus:non:sverð</a> (Old Norse).</li> <li>Language code, English headword. For example: <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:da:beautiful?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Thesaurus:da:beautiful">Thesaurus:da:beautiful</a> (Danish), <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:ar:become_happy?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:ar:become happy">Thesaurus:ar:become happy</a> (Arabic), <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Thesaurus:sound/fi&action=edit&redlink=1&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="new" title="Thesaurus:sound/fi (page does not exist)">Thesaurus:sound/fi</a> (Finnish).</li> </ol> <p>By October 2022, convention A was followed by 98.8% of non-English thesaurus entries. In November 2023, all remaining thesaurus entries using convention B and C were standardised to convention A.</p> <p>Convention A carries certain disadvantages. One is that the automatic display of the [⇒ thesaurus] link next to synonyms and other terms can be triggered in situations where it is not relevant. For example, <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Thesaurus:yes?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Thesaurus:yes">Thesaurus:yes</a> lists "<span class="Latn" lang="en"><a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/ar?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#English" title="ar">ar</a></span>" as a synonym, but the [⇒ thesaurus] link next to "ar" points to a page containing synonyms for an unrelated term in a different language. Another disadvantage is that the scheme is unique to English Wiktionary. Having Thesaurus entries for multiple languages on a single page causes problems for interwiki linking to other-language Wiktionary editions, such as French Wiktionnaire.</p> <p>Topical categorization is an unsolved problem: there is <a href="https://en-wiktionary-org.translate.goog/wiki/Category:Thesaurus:Geography?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Category:Thesaurus:Geography">Category:Thesaurus:Geography</a>, but no language-specific one.
