Jake AntoEver get frustrated trying to quickly look up a word on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Wiktionary</a> on your phone, wading through etymology first? I did too.So I built Kwiktionary: a fast, mobile-friendly interface for Wiktionary that prioritizes definitions.Try it out: <a href="https://kwiktionary.vercel.app/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://kwiktionary.vercel.app/</a>It's <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OpenSource</a> (built with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NextJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NextJs</a> & <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FastApi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FastApi</a>)!

Simon dē Gulielmō 🐧In another example of clever American design, wiktionary keeps redirecting to wikipedia when trying to look up a word.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wiktionary</a>; <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wikipedia</a>

Nemo_bis 🌈In typical <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/WikiNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WikiNow</a> fashion, I just received a talk page message answering a question I asked in 2012 on <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wiktionary</a>.

JdeBPIf you are having problems with a WikiMedia Foundation wiki at the moment, there is some kind of global problem with editing.

bignoseAs an adjective, "a mickey mouse implementation" typically means the implementation is un-serious, superficial, trivial, and unlikely to be robustly satisfactory.I see that <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/Wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wiktionary</a> agrees with my understanding: <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse#Adjective" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse#Adjective</a><a href="https://bne.social/@Andrea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Andrea</a>

Julien BriceSur le <a href="https://mastodon.top/@wiktionnaire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@wiktionnaire</a>, mars est le mois des thésaurus ! En gros, il s'agit de créer des fiches de vocabulaire autour d'un sujet donné, en français ou dans d'autres langues. Un bon moyen de réviser ses langues étrangères. J'en ai déjà créé deux pour le gallois (une bonne occasion de constater qu'il faudrait que je m'y remette sérieusement).<a href="https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Projet_du_mois/03_2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Projet_du_mois/03_2025</a><a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Wiktionnaire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wiktionnaire</a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wiktionary</a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Cymraeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cymraeg</a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Gallois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gallois</a>

Amgineअर्हत् (English transliteration: arhat) has one of the more-complex pages on English <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wiktionary</a> - the <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/dictionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dictionary</a> project of the <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Wikimedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikimedia</a> Foundation (which is somewhat infamous for pushing technical capabilities of <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/mediawiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mediawiki</a>.)Looking at the page — <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D#Sanskrit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D#Sanskrit</a> — it also looks like the word is also controversial, with slightly different shades of meaning in different communities.A bit like the word "saint", perhaps.It came up in a word puzzle game this morning.

TimjanJust introduced my wife to the term "widlarize" (she hadn't encountered it), and looked it up in <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wiktionary</a> And what do I see? That somewhat peculiar word had been selected as the Word Of The Day for next week. Funny coincidence, that.

JuwanI wonder, for <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wiktionary</a> purposes, what are some of the acronyms and abbreviations on Mastodon, especially on content warnings<ul><li>MH, OH, pol, rel</li></ul>^ these are the ones I know it seems almost counterintuitive to use abbreviationd for something that needs attention. but I am a descriptivist

Gregor WeichbrodtUff, mein Parser fürs deutsche Wiktionary kann jetzt die Bedeutungstexte lesen und extrahiert sogar Tags. Im Screenshot ein Jupyter Widget, das Wörter und deren Bedeutungen aus dem Wiktionary zeigt, die mit „umgangssprachlich“ getaggt sind. Wiederum sind andere Tags in den Bedeutungen mit []- oder <> notiert. <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/wiktionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wiktionary</a>
