This article or section may require cleanup, as it does not appear to have been written by a native English speaker. In fact, I don't really know what this page is talking about.--FETuriousness 22:03, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Edit a word:

Word with only one meaning:

  • click at the index on the adequate character
  • enter the word in the index page: "lx:en:NEW_WORD, "
  • visit the example page lx:en and copy the template using "edit" (please don't change it!)
  • go back to the index page and click on your new word - your new word page appears
  • fill in the template:
  • enter your word in front of the colon (double point) in the 3d line, word meaning directly after the asterisk in the 5th line
  • adapt the "" command at both places
  • 2 alternative situations are now possible:
    • it is already an active template for this meaning in other languages and the template is yet active; only check if your word is yet in the list, in the other complete the list en: MY_WORD
    • the word is new in all languages and there is no template yet for this meaning. Visit the page template:lx:lx to get the template example and copy it. Then fill in the template in your word page: click on the template command and the template edition page appears. Copy the example in it and complete it so far you can.
  • the template connects all words with the same meaning in all languages but can only have one name. Please always use the English meaning as name.
  • check by trying.

When in doubt, open a existing word, edit it and look; then try to imitate what you see.

Word with multiple meanings:

The equivalence through all languages is rarely possible. For this reason use only one template for each meaning of your word. Differentiate the meaning by a number in front of your word. Now it is possible to choose the adequate equivalence for each meaning of your word.

Other languages

You can continue in the other languages where you are expert.

More information concerning your word:

Give more information on the word after the template and entry eventually links to redaction text concerning the same topic.
