Help:Reverting

What are reverting, undoing, and rolling back?
To revert one or more edits is to reverse the effect of those edits, restoring the content from before the edits were made. There are four main ways to revert edits:

 * Rolling back. A ( rollback ) button is available to administrators and rollbackers to revert all of the most recent edits by a given editor to a given page. Such edits must be consecutive, and they must be the latest edits in the page's history. Rolling edits back requires only a single click.
 * Undoing. An ( undo ) link is available to all editors; the link opens an edit-page with the edits undone, allowing the editor to modify the entry text or edit summary before saving. The edits to be reverted must be consecutive, but do not need to be by the same editor, and do not necessarily need to be the latest edits to the page, provided they are the latest edits to the relevant part of the page.
 * Restoring. Any editor can visit a page, choose, select a previous version of a page, click , and re-save the old page-text.
 * Editing. In complicated cases, where good edits have been made overlying the bad edits, an editor can simply edit the page, making whatever changes are needed to reverse the effect of the bad edits.

When to
An edit should be reverted if it is clearly and irredeemably nonconstructive; vandalism, for example, should always be reverted, as should copyright violations and edits that clearly do not conform to our criteria for inclusion. In other cases, it may be better to clean the entry up rather than revert the edits in question (see alternatives below).

It is impossible to roll back under the following circumstances:

 * 1) When the edit to be rolled back is not the most recent edit
 * 2) When an entry only has one contributor, since the rollback function rolls back to the last version by an editor other than the one being rolled back

It is impossible to undo under the following circumstances:

 * 1) When the edit to be undone has itself been edited

It is always possible to revert to a previous version in the pages history. Other things to consider:

 * 1) In circumstances where it is appropriate to leave a message in the edit summary why the edit is being reverted, the rollback function does not allow this
 * 2) It is better to revert to a previous version in a page's history than to click undo multiple times, as this takes multiple edits to achieve what can be achieved in just one edit.

Alternatives
If the content added to the page seems like it may be appropriate, or is appropriate but poorly formatted, it is better to clean the entry up as opposed to simply reverting.

You can also add a request template to the entry. On Wiktionary there are several major requests you can make. See, asks for verification of use of a term with the definition(s) in the entry,  asks for correcting layout, and  is used to propose that an entry be deleted. To nominate a single sense for deletion, use.

Issues
Although users can be blocked for edit warring, users who come here from Wikipedia and other similar places should note that we do not have a "Three-revert rule". This is for many reasons, but predominantly because we have found it unnecessary. If you find yourself revert warring with another contributor, it is your responsibility to try and find a middle ground that is acceptable to you both; a message on their talk page, or the entry's discussion page, can help to start this process. If things are getting very ugly, ask one of the Administrators to step in by leaving a message on their talk page.

Highlight attentions
Users with most modern browsers can set their CSS stylesheets to display where in the page this tag has been added by using

This can be language-specific; for example,

will cause some browsers to display a bold, red "!!" where the { {attention}} is, and the tooltip over those exclamation points will be the comment (second unnamed parameter) in the attention tag.

Help:Interwiki linking

Basics
An interwiki link is a special link from a page on the English Wiktionary to a similar page on another Wikimedia project. These links do not show up in the page itself, but are displayed in a toolbar to the left.

Interlanguage links consist of the language prefix and then the name of the page (i. e. . If you want to link to a different Wiktionary inline in the form of a blue link instead of an interwiki, for example on discussion pages, add a colon directly after the two left square brackets, i. e.  (which becomes [[:de:word).

You can also link to other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation using their respective prefixes. For example links to the German Wikiquote (please note the project prefix should come first).

To link to the "surfeit" Wiktionary entry from Wikipedia, you would include the wikilink markup  which would appear as surfeit or the wikilink markup   which would appear as surfeit.

See the meta-wiki page for available project prefixes and details if interwiki linking. For a complete list of current languages and language codes, see the Wikipedia List of Wikipedias.

Entries
In the main namespace, interwikis always link to pages entries exactly the same title, even if that page is a redirect page. This is different from Wikipedia's translation-based method. It is not necessary to add such links to the English Wiktionary by hand as this is done by the internal system. In the Category, Wiktionary, Help, and other namespaces, it is dealt with on Wikidata.

Other namespace pages
Interwiki links in other namespaces, such as for templates, link pages with similar functionality (not necessarily identical titles). For details about place interwiki links on templates, see Help:Documenting templates.

Talk:American Thanksgiving

Now I know some of you are going to say "Not more than the sum of its parts!" ... I only have a couple of things in defense of this:
 * The counter-imperialists insist that "American" means "of or pertaining to the Americas" and this is in my experience chiefly opposed to Canadian Thanksgiving
 * The pronunciation is different: when used as a lexeme, and not just American + Thanksgiving, I've always heard it said American THANKSgiving, while the regular name is ThanksGIVing
 * It's still a proper noun even though it has a qualifier to disambiguate it from other Thanksgivings. (I've tried to use quotes that reflect this, e.g. where it is used without the definite article, or when it is used in time constructions as a unit, e.g. "on American Thanksgiving".)  —Muke Tever 14:06, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:鳳声

What language
A Google search shows that this is probably a Japanese expression (not Chinese). Tohru should probably check this.

-- ほうせい, housei] (N) verbal message --

Badagnani 16:18, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

On second thought, now I'm not so sure, because the second character is simplified (not kanji). Badagnani 16:20, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

鳳 lists this as a Japanese word. Gerard Foley 16:26, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I wonder why, then, Japanese would use a Chinese simplified character as a kanji (?) Badagnani 16:32, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't know much about the historical kanji/hanzi simplification, but it seems that quite a few characters had been simplified in the same manner within each language. Anyway, the word 鳳声 is so antiquated and ceremonious that I've never seen it in real-life situations... --Tohru 17:18, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ultra megatron. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ultra megatron~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:23, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
