Some examples of a part of speech are 'noun', 'verb', 'adjective', 'proper noun', 'preposition', 'article', etc. It is a level two heading. This is followed on the next line by the appropriate tag, for example a verb would be written like this:</li></ul> <dl><dd><code>== Verb ==</code></dd> <dd><code>{{verb}}</code></dd></dl> <ul><li><b>Definition</b>: This is where you give your definition. You should put this symbol before your definition: #. Generally, explanations (as if you're speaking to someone) are better than traditionally <a href="/wiki/terse" title="terse">terse</a> dictionary definitions. If the word appears in the definition, it should be in <b>bold</b>. Any important words in the definition may be linked. Also, nouns should be labeled as <a href="/wiki/Template:countable" title="Template:countable">countable</a> or <a href="/wiki/Template:uncountable" title="Template:uncountable">uncountable</a>, and verbs labeled as <a href="/wiki/Template:transitive" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:transitive">transitive</a> or <a href="/wiki/Template:intransitive" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:intransitive">intransitive</a>.</li></ul> <p>For example, do this: </p> <pre># {{countable}} A '''straw''' is a thin [[hollow]] [[tube]] that you drink through. </pre> <p>to produce this: </p> <dl><dd><ol><li>(<i><a href="/wiki/countable" title="countable"><span style="color:green;">countable</span></a></i>) A <b>straw</b> is a thin <a href="/wiki/hollow" title="hollow">hollow</a> <a href="/wiki/tube" title="tube">tube</a> that you drink through.</li></ol></dd></dl> <p>DO NOT do this: </p> <pre># A thin hollow tube that you drink through. </pre> <ul><li><b>Examples</b>: Examples follow each definition.

The order shown above does this most of the time. A heading placed at the 2nd level includes everything that follows until another 2nd level heading is used. If a word can be a noun and a verb, all of the definitions and examples relating to the noun should be placed in the noun section, not the verb section.

(See <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Pronunciation&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wiktionary:Pronunciation (page does not exist)">Wiktionary:Pronunciation key</a> for an outline of these two systems.) The phonetic transcriptions are normally placed between diagonal strokes (/ /). </p><p>If the country is not specified, the pronunciation section may look like the following example based on the word <i><a href="/wiki/liquid" title="liquid">liquid</a></i>. In this case, each pronunciation system (such as IPA or SAMPA) gets its own line and will again be listed in alphabetical order. </p> <pre>=== Pronunciation === * {{enPR|/lɪk'wɪd/}} * {{IPA|/ˈlɪkwɪd/}} * {{SAMPA|/"lIkwId/}} * {{audio|en-us-liquid.ogg|US}} </pre> <p>While it is generally better to use one of these established systems of pronunciation, it is not wrong to use another way if that’s all you know and there is an important point to be made. For the word <i><a href="/wiki/reject" title="reject">reject</a></i>, one could have /RE-ject/ and /re-JECT/ to show the difference between the pronunciations of the noun and verb forms. It may not be standard, but it is not wrong. Whenever possible, though, these pronunciations should be replaced with one in a system, such as IPA. </p><p>Ideally, every entry should have a pronunciation section, and perhaps a sound sample with it. However, pronunciations vary widely between dialects, and non-linguists often have trouble writing down pronunciations properly. UK English pronunciations should give the <a href="/wiki/Received_Pronunciation" title="Received Pronunciation">Received Pronunciation</a> of the entry. </p><p>For audio pronunciations, upload the Ogg file to <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" class="extiw" title="commons:Main Page">Commons</a> and link here using <a href="/wiki/Template:audio" title="Template:audio">Template:Audio</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Homophones" data-mw-thread-id="h-Homophones-Pronunciation"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Homophones-Pronunciation"></span>Homophones<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Homophones-Pronunciation"></span></h5></div> <p>List any <a href="/wiki/homophone" title="homophone">homophones</a> of the word in alphabetical order, wikifying each one.

Examples (for <i>beater</i> and <i>right</i>, respectively): </p> <pre>==== Homophones ==== * [[beta]] (''in [[non-rhotic]] accents'') </pre> <pre>==== Homophones ==== * [[rite]] * [[wright]] * [[write]] * [[ride]] (''in accents with [[flapping]]'') </pre> <p>The following must not be added to the homophones section: </p> <ul><li>Words that are "nearly" homophones or rhymes (for example, for "right", the words "white" or "light");</li> <li>Words that are homophones if they are mispronounced in some way (e.g., for "miss", the word "myth" when pronounced with a <a href="/w/index.php?title=lisp&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="lisp (page does not exist)">lisp</a>);</li> <li>Foreign words. These are unlikely to be true homophones (e.g., Italian <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=tipi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="tipi (page does not exist)">tipi</a></i> (meaning "types") is <i>not</i> a homophone of English <a href="/w/index.php?title=tepee&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="tepee (page does not exist)">tepee</a>; the sounds of the vowels and consonants are similar but different).</li></ul> <p>(Note that the term used here is <i>homophone</i>; the term <i><a href="/wiki/homonym" title="homonym">homonym</a></i> used by some is not clear because it can mean either "homophone" or "<a href="/wiki/homograph" title="homograph">homograph</a>".) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_article_core" data-mw-thread-id="h-The_article_core-Other_headings"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-The_article_core-Other_headings"></span>The article core<span data-mw-comment-end="h-The_article_core-Other_headings"></span></h3></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_part_of_speech_or_other_descriptor" data-mw-thread-id="h-The_part_of_speech_or_other_descriptor-The_article_core"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-The_part_of_speech_or_other_descriptor-The_article_core"></span>The part of speech or other descriptor<span data-mw-comment-end="h-The_part_of_speech_or_other_descriptor-The_article_core"></span></h4></div> <p>This is a level 2 header.

The code <code>[[File:Image name.jpg|thumb|Caption]]</code> can be used to do this automatically. </p><p><br/> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Meta_data" data-mw-thread-id="h-Meta_data"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Meta_data"></span>Meta data<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Meta_data"></span></h2></div> <p>This refers to material which is edited in a regular edit box, but which does not appear in the main body of the article when it is read.

Sub-categories may also appear on that page. Categories and lists under various names may seem very similar, but the way they are built is very different; in most cases, but especially in open ended lists, they complement each other. </p><p>To include an article in a category, simply add a category tag to the article thus: </p> <pre>[[Category:Category name]] </pre> <p>Note that in Simple English Wiktionary, most of the part of speech categories are included in the part of speech templates, (e.g., {{noun}}), so there is no need to repeat this at the bottom. </p><p>The link will appear at the bottom of the page in some skins and at the top in others, regardless of where it is placed in the edit box. It is recommended that it go near the bottom of the edit box, above the interwikis if any. By putting these tags in a consistent place it makes them easier to find when you need to edit them in a longer article. If the category link appears red that category page has not yet been described, but all items that have been put into that category will be listed there. You should edit the category page, notably by adding a brief description of the category and adding a tag to place it in a higher-level category. </p><p>The list of articles on a category page will be alphabetized in the strict Unicode order of the titles unless you dictate otherwise. One effect of this is that <b>all</b> English articles beginning with a capital letter will be listed before any that begins with a lower case letter. You can fix this problem with a piped link. By placing [[Category:Drugs|*]] or [[Category:Drugs| ]] in the article <a href="/wiki/drug" title="drug">drug</a> will force that term to be at the top of the list since Unicode lists the asterisk before any letter, and lists a blank space before any symbols. Words that define a category name should be “piped” in this way. Similarly, putting [[Category:Drugs|aspirin]] in the article <a href="/w/index.php?title=Aspirin&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Aspirin (page does not exist)">Aspirin</a> will force it to be alphabetized among words that begin with a lower case letter. </p><p>The category name should <i>always</i> begin with a capital letter. This takes advantage of Unicode sorting to create separate lists for each foreign language that is represented within the broader set of categories. Foreign language categories can begin with the language code in lower case. </p><p>By convention, it is preferable to use the plural for most category names that are nouns. This will avoid having a category divided in two when some use the plural and some use the singular. </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://simple.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Entry_layout_explained&oldid=531929">https://simple.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Entry_layout_explained&oldid=531929</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:Countable_nouns" title="Category:Countable nouns">Countable nouns</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wiktionary" title="Category:Wiktionary">Wiktionary</a></li></ul></div><div id="mw-hidden-catlinks" class="mw-hidden-catlinks mw-hidden-cats-hidden">Hidden category: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Simplify" title="Category:Simplify">Simplify</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 6 August 2024, at 11:05.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>; additional terms may apply.
