<div style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:5%; text-align:center;">The '''Simple English Wiktionary''' is a free and open-content wiki-based dictionary using simpler English that is written ''by people like you''. It makes it easier for Simple English readers to learn and understand words better. Like all [[Main Page#Sister projects in Simple English|other Wikimedia projects]], it is entirely run by the community and it is changing how we share our knowledge with other people around the world. We are different, and we like you to be part of it.

=== Changing pages ===
[[File:Edit-this-page-large-fadeout.png|right|400px|link=]]
The idea of a wiki is to make pages changeable by everyone. To change a page, click on the "{{int:Edit}}" tab on the top right hand corner of the page ''(pictured)'' to enter the editing box and make your changes.

We use a special markup, called wikitext, to format our pages. You might want to take a look at [[Help:Editing|a little guide]] to understand the basic formatting of pages as you change the pages.

=== Creating new pages ===
[[File:Start this page tab.png|right|300px]]
Pages can be created using the "{{int:Create}}" link at the top of the page (if the page does not exist). You can also click on <font color="#BA0000">red links</font> to enter the edit box to write your definition.

While it is okay to just jump in and write your definition for a word, we have a [[Wiktionary:Entry layout explained|little styling guide]] that we follow so that we can make our pages more descriptive. This way, your readers can easily understand what you are trying to say, and makes the dictionary better for everyone!

=== Using images ===

|}

Images are important in making a page more lively, but do use them ''sparingly''. We generally add around one or two images in a page and select the best ones that describe the word clearly.

We do not allow uploading of images on this wiki, but you can use one of the millions available on [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]] directly in the pages on this wiki. [[commons:Special:Search|Search]] for one that you like and follow the steps when you click on the picture icon in the edit window.

|'''Tip:''' If you have an image that you think looks much better than what is available, feel free to [[commons:Special:UploadWizard|upload it]] on Wikimedia Commons and use it here!
