- Wikipedia official policy: Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary
Note: please do not add any new requests to this page. If you would like to report a dictionary definition, simply tag the article with {{Copy to Wiktionary}}. See marking dictionary articles below for how to correctly tag an article.
Category:Copy to Wiktionary contains a list of dictionary articles that are candidates for moving to the transwiki namespace of Wiktionary via the transwiki process. This is a maintenance page that contains other listings. We would like help resolving the old entries below.
When you move an article, make sure that you do not break any links. Consider copying rather than moving to avoid these complications. Put links from the Wikipedia article to the Wiktionary article and back.
Actively avoiding dictionary articles
You can help prevent the creation of dictionary articles (and the resulting wasted effort) by:
- searching Wiktionary for existing dictionary articles before creating new articles on Wikipedia
- using interwiki links to link from Wikipedia articles to Wiktionary articles if you want to link to articles about words, or to Wiktionary categories if you want to link to lists of definitions of words
- ensuring that any hyperlinks that you create in articles follow the naming conventions in what they point to, in particular with regard to linking to singulars instead of plurals, linking to nouns instead of adjectives, and linking to the gerunds of verbs.
Marking dictionary articles
If you find a dictionary article please search Wiktionary to see whether a dictionary entry already exists in Wiktionary. If it does, please consider turning the Wikipedia article into a soft redirect, or turning the Wikipedia article into an adjective→noun or verb→gerund redirect.
If you find a dictionary article which belongs in Wiktionary, transwiki it! If you can't perform the transwikification yourself, it is suggested that you add the {{Copy to Wiktionary}} tag to the article.
This marks the pages so that future viewers will see that it needs to be moved, and adds the article to Category:Copy to Wiktionary.
