Talk:beetle

Trademarked
"Beetle" isn't trademarked for the "old beetle" and in fact can't be trademarked on its own since it's already a generic English word. "New Beetle" may be a trademark. The old beetle's official names was "Type 1" as far as I've ever known. — Hippietrail 03:17, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * As a followup to what I've said here, the definition which says "a brand of car" is wrong. It's just a nickname given by the people. "New Beetle" may be a brand though. — 138.130.33.197 01:26, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * No such words in Icelandic: Icelandic bitil, bitul (“a bite, bit”)?? Bitill and bitull on the other hand means bit or bridle. --89.160.147.231 10:16, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Deletion debate
rfd-sense: "Nickname of two models of car made by Volkswagen." This should be Beetle, though since it's a mark of car I'd prefer just to delete it. I mean, it's not just a nickname, there is a VW Beetle. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:40, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * So, you know this meaning, but you want to keep it for yourself? And you don't want to provide translations (the French equivalent is coccinelle)? It's a nickname. But moving it to Beetle might be justified, I'm not sure. Lmaltier 21:19, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

RFV discussion: June 2011–February 2012
Rfv-sense: Nickname of two models of car made by Volkswagen. Needs citations with this capitalization, since I think it's written in uppercase only. They might also need to meet WT:BRAND. -- Prince Kassad 15:05, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I believe the Quagga is now extinct and has been reclassified as a species of zebra. This might affect the defs. — Hippietrail 09:10, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I've always known a quagga to be a subspecies of Zebra. A quick internet search confirms this. I've changed the definition accordingly. Raichu2 28 Nov 2006

quagga
Is quagga an alternative spelling of the Afrikaans word kwagga? "Pharos Afrikaans-English/Eglish-Afrikaans" and "Prisma Afrikaans en Nederlands" both only mention kwagga. Caudex Rax (talk) 06:29, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Not really, it's the original Dutch spelling, which was both adopted into English and also developed into the Afrikaans word. Ƿidsiþ 06:38, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Wiktionary:Tutorial

Hi! Welcome to the Wiktionary Tutorial. Wiktionary is a collaboratively edited Internet dictionary that you can contribute to. This series of pages will give you the basic skills and knowledge you'll need to start helping us build this project.

Each page will discuss a useful feature of the wiki software, a piece of style and content guidance, information about the Wiktionary community, or important Wiktionary policies and conventions.

Keep in mind that this is a tutorial, not a definitive policy page or an extensive manual. If you want more details, throughout the tutorial there are wiki links to other Wiktionary pages. Those pages have more information on the topics here. You don't need to look at them now, but you can if you want. You might want to open them in a separate window, so as to stay on the tutorial.

There will also be links to spaces where you can practice what you're learning. Take advantage of the chance to try things out and play around. Nobody will get upset if you screw up an experiment in these practice areas, so play around and see what you can do.

Note: The location of links mentioned in the tutorial assume you are using the default page layout. If you are logged in as a registered user, and have changed your default preferences, they may be in other locations.

Ready? Then let's begin!

Wiktionary:Tutorial (Editing)

Editing pages
We'll start with the most basic wiki feature of all: Edit. Every wiki page (with the exception of a very few protected pages) has a link at the top that says "Edit". This link lets you do exactly what it says – edit the page you're looking at. Sites such as these where anyone can edit anything are known as wikis.

Try it! In a new window, open this page's sandbox, and then click the "Edit" link. You'll see the source code for that page. Write anything you want, or just say hello. Then save it by clicking on the Save page button under the edit window, or by pressing Ctrl-S or Alt-S on your keyboard (these shortcuts don't work for all keyboard configurations) and see what you've done. There is more detail at Help:How to edit a page. You might want to open this in a new window, too, so you can carry on with the tutorial.

Whenever you want to experiment without worry, you can always do it in the Sandbox.

Show preview
An important feature to start using now is Show preview, which allows you to see what the page will look like after your edit, even before you save. Try making an edit in the sandbox, then clicking the "Show preview" button. We all make mistakes, and this lets you catch them immediately. If you make a habit of using "Show preview" before saving, you'll save yourself and other editors some trouble.

This is especially important if you think you may be making other edits on the page. It is a good idea to just save once, to keep the page history uncluttered. Saving less often is also a way of avoiding edit conflicts. However, when you change large amounts of text you might consider doing this in successive steps (e.g. one definition/translation at a time) so that others can follow your edits more easily.

Minor edits
If you are logged in as a registered user, you can mark an edit as minor by checking the appropriate box before you save. This is used to show others that your edit is not something substantive. There's no strict guideline on when to do this, but certainly spelling corrections and minor format changes like adding a space or a wikilink are minor edits. In other words, changing the presentation is generally minor, but changing the content is not. When in doubt, don't mark the box. For a more detailed discussion, see Help:Minor edit.

Edit summary
Before you hit "Save page", it is considered good practice to enter a very brief summary of your change(s) in the Edit summary box between the edit window and the Save and Preview buttons. It can be quite terse; for example if you just enter "typo", people will know you made a minor spelling or punctuation correction, or some other small change.

When you're done playing around in the sandbox, click this link to move to the next page of the tutorial.

Wiktionary:Tutorial (Formatting)

Bold and italics
Composing text in Wiktionary is a little different from writing in a normal word processor.

The wiki can accept some HTML tags, but most people prefer to use the built-in wiki markup language, which is designed for ease of editing. The most commonly used character formatting styles are bold and italics. Bolding and italicizing is done by surrounding a word or phrase with multiple apostrophes:

 * is rendered as italics. (2 apostrophes)
 * is rendered as bold. (3 apostrophes)
 * is rendered as bold italics. (2+3=5 apostrophes)

If the apostrophe character is part of the highlighted text there are some possible solutions:

 * 1) use a curly quote :
 * 2) put a   tag between the real apostrophe and the formatting apostrophes:
 * 3) use the template :

By convention, the titles of books, movies, publications and taxonomic names are italicized:
 * from My Fair Lady (1964)
 * published in The New Yorker
 * the European mole, Talpa europaea

Entries are generally written to resemble standard dictionary entries, so we do not follow Wikipedia's convention of including the title of the entry in bold in the first paragraph. Instead we use various headings to organize the information. For more information on the format guidelines for a page, see Entry layout.

Headings and subheadings
Headings and subheadings can be used to specify different parts of speech (noun, verb etc.).

Headings can be created like this:
 * (with 2 equals signs)
 * (3 equals signs)
 * (4 equals signs)

And so forth. If you find you need headings with 5 or more equals signs, you might want to consider restructuring the entry. Headings with only 1 equals sign are never used in the main namespace, and hardly ever used outside it.

If an entry has at least three headings, a table of contents will be automatically generated. Try creating a headline in this page's sandbox. It will be added to the table of contents for the page.

When you're done, click here to continue.

Wiktionary:Tutorial (Registration)

Registration is optional
Everyone is welcome to contribute to Wiktionary, regardless of whether they choose to register a user name or not.

There are two main reasons people are encouraged to register:

General benefits
The free account gives you many benefits, including more editing options and user preferences. One handy feature is the Watchlist, which makes it easier for you to track changes to pages you are interested in. Another is the ability to move or rename a page (Do not move pages simply through copy and paste as the edit history is not preserved that way. Instead ask at the Beer Parlour for a registered user's help).

Also, it increases your privacy by hiding your IP address, which can sometimes be used to find out more about you.

Finally, only registered users are allowed to become Administrators (or sysops). These users have the ability to delete and restore pages, edit protected pages, and other privileges.

Perceived benefits
Many Wiktionarians consider registering to indicate a greater willingness by you to stand behind your edits, and your comments on discussion pages. This means your contributions to articles and discussion pages will generally be given more weight, at least when you make the entries while logged in. Of course, building a solid track record of useful contributions will also enhance people's perception of you, regardless of whether you register.

Registration
To register, or to see more detailed information regarding the benefits of registering, you can click the Log in link at the top right corner of any page.

Wiktionary:Tutorial (Keep in mind)

Conduct
Wiktionary encourages an atmosphere of friendliness and openness. Of course, in practice there are sometimes disagreements and even the occasional fight, but members of the community are expected to behave in a generally civil manner.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should always assume good faith on the part of other editors. Never assume that someone is acting out of spite or malice. If someone does something that upsets you, leave a polite message on the relevant article's talk page or on the user's talk page, and ask why. You may find that you've avoided a misunderstanding and saved yourself some embarrassment.

In correlation with assuming good faith, you can generally expect others to assume good faith as well, which means that if you see something you think should be fixed, don't worry too much about hurting the feelings of previous editors: Be bold! Get in there and fix it.

Editorial policy
Wiktionary's editorial policy is the "neutral point of view", often abbreviated "NPOV". This policy says that we accept all the significant viewpoints on an issue. Instead of simply stating one perspective, we try to present all relevant viewpoints without judging which is correct. Our aim is to be informative, not to convince readers of something. Our policy does NOT mean that our entries are expected to be "objective," since in any dispute both sides believe their view to be "true."

It's OK to state opinions in entries, but they must be presented as opinions, not as fact. Also, it's a good idea to attribute these opinions, for example "Supporters of this say that..." or "Notable commentator ___ believes that..."

You might hear Wiktionarians referring to an entry as "POV". This is Wiktionary slang for a biased article, or one obviously written from a single perspective. Advertising would fall in this category, as would a political diatribe.

Copyrights
Do not submit copyrighted material without permission. The best articles are usually written from either personal knowledge, or through the synthesis of research from multiple sources.

Regional English
British, American, and other Englishes are welcome on Wiktionary. An abridged version of the related policy could be stated as:
 * Do not edit a page simply to "correct" the spelling in any direction.
 * If the subject is related to the United States, US English is preferred (e.g., World Trade Center, not "World Trade Centre").
 * If the subject is related to British-English regions, British English is preferred (e.g., British Labour Party, not "British Labor Party"). Same with most European topics, as they probably mostly see British English.
 * If the subject is related to Canada, Canadian English is preferred.
 * If the subject is neutral (e.g. science, etc.), the original contributor's usage should be followed. See dialects, accents and varieties of English if you have difficulty with this.
 * The usage should be consistent throughout the article.
 * Do not be silly.

Wiktionary:Tutorial (Discussion rooms)

Discussion rooms
A key feature of Wiktionary is the ability to discuss entries and other issues with other Wiktionarians. Below are the main discussion rooms

You can start a new discussion in any of these rooms by clicking the icon between  and. When requesting cleanup, verification or deletion, it is best to place in the entry, or , respectively, with the language code after the pipe (the symbol |). Discussions can then be started in the appropriate room by clicking (+) in a method similar to the Tea Room. In cases where only one sense of the word is being requested for cleanup, verification or deletion, use, or  instead, placed after the number sign (#).

When you're responding to someone else's comment, put your own comment below theirs. You can indent your comment by typing any number of colons at the beginning of a line.

You should sign your comments by typing for just your username, or (~) for your username and a time signature. When you save the page, your signature will be automatically inserted. Most of us use time signatures, because it makes discussions much easier to follow.

It is considered very impolite to modify other people's comments in discussion rooms. This could result in you getting blocked.

Entry requests
For requesting new entries or senses, please see Requested entries.

Indenting
Indenting can help the layout of a discussion very much, making it much easier to read. A standard practice is to indent your reply one more level than the person you are replying to, up to about 5 indentations. After a while, the indent may grow too large, so you may wish to "outdent" (start the indenting again, from the left of the page). To signify your comment has been "outdented", but is still a reply to the above, and not a new topic, you may wish to use.

There are several ways of indenting in Wiktionary:

Plain indentations
The simplest way of indenting is to place a colon (':') in front of each of your paragraphs. The more you place in front of a paragraph, the further indented it will be. for example:

This is aligned all the way to the left. :This is indented slightly. ::This is indented more.

Is shown as:

This is aligned all the way to the left.
 * This is indented slightly.
 * This is indented more.

Bullet points
You can also indent using bullets, usually used for lists. To insert a bullet, use an asterisk ('*'). Similar to indentation, more asterisks in front of a paragraph changes the indentation. A brief example:

*First List Item *Second List Item **Sub-Second List Item *Third List Item

Which is shown as:

 * First List Item
 * Second List Item
 * Sub-Second List Item
 * Third List Item

Numbered items
You can also create numbered lists. For this, use the number sign or hash symbol ('#'). This is usually used for polls and voting. Again, you can affect the indent by adding colons and you can start a numbered sub-list by adding additional number signs:

#First item #Second item ##Sublist ##Sublist item 2 #Third item #:Additional information for third item #Fourth item

Is shown as:

 * 1) First item
 * 2) Second item
 * 3) Sublist
 * 4) Sublist item 2
 * 5) Third item
 * Additional information for third item
 * 1) Fourth item

Example
Here is an example of a well-formatted discussion:

Hi. I have a question about this entry. I'm pretty sure purple elephants only live in New York! - Jimbo 22:43, Apr 13, 2107 (UTC)
 * Well, last time I was in New York, the elephants I saw were green. - Neophite 23:26, Apr 13, 2107 (UTC)
 * I think you should find a source for your claims. - Vessicle 23:53, Apr 13, 2107 (UTC)
 * Okay - these elephant journals agree with me:
 * Elephants Monthly
 * Elephants World - Jimbo 04:01, Apr 14, 2107 (UTC)
 * I live in Australia, where the elephants look like kangaroos! These people agree with my statement:
 * Mr. DaFonte - Animal connoisseur
 * Ms. Salt - Renowned interior designer
 * Prof. Dr. Tonto of the Lisbon City Zoo - BalderdashEater 04:16, Apr 14, 2107 (UTC)

Experiment
Experiment! This time, instead of editing a sandbox, leave a message on the talk page by clicking "Discussion". Remember to sign your user name. You might want to try responding to someone else's post. Remember, you should use "Show preview" to see if your formatting works before you save.

Wiktionary:Tutorial (Namespaces)

In addition to the articles and their Talk pages, there are some other categories of behind-the-scenes pages that help Wiktionarians communicate with each other, and serve a variety of other roles in building Wiktionary.

User pages and User Talk pages
If you want to share information about yourself, the place to put it is your User page. You can only access your User page if you are logged in as a registered user.

If other users want to communicate with you, they will leave a message on your User talk page.

Some other areas
These different areas are often referred to with the label "namespace", as in the User namespace. These include the Project namespace (also called the Wiktionary namespace) that provides information about Wiktionary and how to use it, and the MediaWiki namespace which contains interface texts such as link labels and messages. All the pages in both these areas also have corresponding Talk pages.

For more details, see Namespace.

Wiktionary:Tutorial (Wiktionary links)

Internal links
One of the things that makes Wiktionary useful and addictive is extensive internal links. These easily-created links allow users to access information related to the entry they're reading.

When to link
The easiest way to learn when to link is to look at other Wiktionary entries and imitate what they do. If you're trying to decide whether to make a link or not, think "If I were reading this for the first time, would following this link be useful to me?"

How to link
When you want to make a link to another Wiktionary page—called a wikilink—you have to put it in double square brackets, like this:.

For example, if you want to make a link to the “Beer Parlour” page, you could write this:

The above code would appear like this:
 * Beer parlour

If a page linked to exists it will show as a blue link, but if it doesn't exist then it will be shown as a red link.

If you want the displayed text of a link to have a different title, you can do so by adding a pipe "|" divider (SHIFT + BACKSLASH on some English-layout and other keyboards) followed by an alternative name.

For example, if you wanted to make a link to the above example, but wanted it to say "my text" you would write it as follows:

It would appear as this:
 * To view the entry, my text.

The link is titled "my text" but links to "entry X".

Alternate endings
When you want to use the plural of an entry title (or add any other suffix) for your link, you can add the extra letters directly outside the double square brackets.

For example, you would write:

# any of several marine mammals… * ferrying, shifting, shipping…

It would appear as this:

 * any of several marine mammals…
 * ferrying, shifting, shipping…

Wiktionary:Tutorial (Related site links)

Related sites
Wiktionary is mainly for dictionary definitions (along with other things that would typically be found in a dictionary).

Encyclopedia articles should be contributed to Wiktionary's sister project Wikipedia.

Original source text, such as from a public domain book that you want to post to make it more accessible, should be contributed to Wiktionary's other sister project Wikisource.

Quotations may be contributed to Wikiquote if they don't make good citations for Wiktionary.

For a list of all related projects, see the complete list of wikimedia projects.

Linking to related sites
Linking to entries at our sister Wikimedia Foundation sites is accomplished in a similar manner to making a Wiktionary link, with the addition that you prefix the title with a single letter code assigned to each of the other projects, followed by a colon.

To illustrate, the code for Wikipedia is "w"; in order to link to their encyclopedia entry for the colour "orange" you would type  In your entry it will appear like "orange (colour)"—you can hide "w:" and "(colour)" using the "pipe trick" from the previous page, i.e., typing   results in a link to the Wikipedia article, but displays simply as orange. If you only want to get rid of the "w:" in a link, a pipe after the first word will do this. For example,  renders William Shakespeare. Another alternative is to use a template:.

Other Wikimedia projects have similar shortcuts:
 * To link to Wikiquote, use the prefix "q:", such as, which will appear as Abraham Lincoln
 * To link to Wikibooks, use the prefix "b:", such as , which will appear as German
 * To link to Wikinews, use the prefix "n:", such as , which will appear as Google translates Gmail to 12 languages, asks for volunteers to target 144 more
 * To link to Wikisource, use the prefix "s:", such as , which will appear as The Lord's Prayer
 * To link to Wikiversity, use the prefix "v:", such as , which will appear as Introduction to Swedish
 * To add an image from Wikimedia Commons, use the prefix "File:", such as, which will appear as the image you see on this page: Polarlicht 2.jpg

Cross-language links
You are viewing this article on the English version of Wiktionary, but there are Wiktionary editions with entries written in many languages. For information about the German word frei in English, you use the English-language version (this one), and for information of the German word frei in German, you should search on the German-language Wiktionary.

To link from the English Wiktionary to the German article on frei, type   (with a colon in front of it). It will appear as de:frei.

Similarly, to link from a foreign language Wiktionary back to the article on frei in English, type   (en:frei).

The Meta site
There is one main site that serves as a common area to coordinate development of all these sites, Meta-Wiki. The Meta and Wiktionary sites can be linked to in a similar manner:
 * Link to the Meta by typing something such as   (Wiktionary).
 * Link back to the English Wiktionary from Meta, or any other Wikimedia project, by typing something such as   or   . To link to a separate project in a different language, type something like    or.

Help talk:Searching

Why does a search for "drier" not pick up "dry"? For that matter, a search for "dry" does not pick up "dry". (This is when I put a search term in the left-hand navigation bar and click "Search".) -- Beland 22:29, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Why can't i search for a word with a particular form or meaning
for example if i were to search "to acquaint" the search engine should also search the definitions of the words in the wiktionary. so then, if you were searching for the action verb, or adjective, or any other form of a word, you would be taken directly to a list of words, one of which you could pick out for youself as the correct word. i think this would dramatically enhance the functionality of the wikipedia
 * At the moment most verbs are listed in the infinitive form, "acquaint" to use your example. Certain conjugated forms also show up, gerunds and adjectival/verb forms especially.  The reason why you cannot search for "aquaints" or "aquainting" is because we haven't gotten that far yet, eventually we hope to have every form of every word defined in a meaningful way.  Until then, we almost always have the infinitive form listed first, and conjugated forms follow sometime after. - TheDaveRoss 09:34, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

To search by Pinyin
It will be esier to search if Pinyin written in different forms, such as: sky - 天空 (tiānkōng, tian1kong1, tiankong).

 * The other forms are being entered. But they should not all be given in the translations section. --EncycloPetey 22:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to set by computing program to let the different forms of Pinyin to be equal, such as (tiānkōng = tian1kong1 = tiankong = tian kong)?

 * The best person to ask might be User:A-cai --EncycloPetey 23:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Wildcard searches
Is there any way to search like, for example, *vam and get all the words that end with "vam"?--24.27.9.105 16:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I can't think of any way to do it within the MediaWiki software, no. Playing with the XML dump, it is trivial.

Kvam convivam catervam servam furtivam cervam --Connel MacKenzie 17:13, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Is there any plan to implement a wildcard feature? It would be absolutely fantastic, in my humble opinion — currently, the wildcard capabilities of the OED online are the only thing that is stopping me putting more (read: any) energy into Wiktionary.  220.245.245.185 05:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * this would be a huge help to many of my projects as well which deal with differently spelled word forms of the Middle Ages (mscuthbert on en:wikip)

In fact you can search Wiktionary using wildcards by using Google: Just enter your search "*vam" into Goole followed by the switch „site:“ and the domain „en.wikipedia.org“ (ergo: „site:en.wikipedia.org“). This works with any inexed domain, just don't leave any space between the switch and the domain! 193.158.195.18 12:19, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * nope, that doesn't work. Asmrulz (talk) 10:54, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

exact-case search?
The text says:
 * Once on the search page, you can select "Exact-case search" to use the more advanced diacritics-folding option.

.. but I don't see any such option, neither as a checkbox nor in the dropdown of search targets. Hv 12:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Appendix:Common short words in the English language
Why is Appendix:Common short words in the English language linked here? --Jackofclubs 14:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Searching syntax
I'm trying to do a search similar to what's possible in Wikipedia, for example: will list articles WITH those keywords but NOT in that category. Here at Wiktionary, this does not seem to work: I also tried: but that gives strange results also. How can I do that kind of search involving categories and exclusion?...Thanks, --Alainr345 (talk) 23:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Each page on wiktionary corresponds to a spelling (not a topic) so such searches are not that useful - Java will contain information about Java; reverse lookup of terms (when you know the meaning, and want the word) is very hard, and relies on you typing something approximating our definition. (I don't know why the search configuration on Wikipedia would be different from that here, but Wikipedia gets much more attention from the developpers than Wiktionary does, so maybe they just forgot). Conrad.Irwin 00:45, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Out of Date
This page is out of date. The search box is now located at the upper right and no longer has Go and Search buttons. I was hoping to find information on how to replicate the "Search" functionality since this box has changed. Who can update this page? —Dajagr 01:04, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I updated it. Sorry it took 11 years to do so, but I was trying to find the perfect wording. GreyishWorm (talk) 16:15, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
