Guide:Contionary

So you want to add the words of your conlang to our dictionary? Well, worry not, it's a mostly pain free process!

Contionary what?

The contionary (from conlang + dictionary) is meant to be similar to MediaWiki's Wiktionary project with the difference that here, conlangs, be they notable or not are all welcome!

Getting excited yet?

So what do I do?

Well, Billy, when a man loves a– I kid.

To first begin, you must have your word ready and everything. Now that you have your word, go to the Contionary main page page, where you will be met by a "add your word" box.

As you add your word the wiki will load an editing page for you, the new entry template, which looks something like this.

{{subst:User:Chrysophylax/Template:nous |1=English |2=entry |POS=Noun |IPA=ˈentʰɹɪ |POS2=noun }}

It's pretty simple from here on.

• 1. Copy this template outside the commented area
• 2. Fill in 1 (language), 2 (your word), POS (part of speech), IPA¹ (pronunciation), POS2 (again, part of speech but in lowercase).
• 3. Click 'Save page'

This will create a page with an etymology section, a related section, categorise the page as a contionary entry and lots of other stuff. Feel free to edit the page again to add the correct etymology, related terms and such.

¹ - You can write IPA in the wiki editor without a special keyboard by going to Special characters > IPA.

Done, but how do I get those fancy tables?

Then the simplest way to get them is by making a template. You can take a look at other user's templates and copy/modify to your heart's delight or ask nicely on someone's talk to help you out. Remember, anything that starts with {{ is a template and it is ended with }}. You can go to the template's page and look at it by going to the page within the brackets {{ }}.
