===Do's and Don'ts===
*Follow the conventions established by the consensus of the Wiktionary community, as outlined in [[Wiktionary:Entry layout explained|Entry layout]]<!--FUTURE: and availabe for your disposal at the root entry template-->. Of course there is some flexibility in the actual creation of new entries, and these templates do not dictate the style that must be followed for any particular word. However, as the default for many new entries among all contributors, the style encapsulated within the templates themselves should be consistent.
Line 22:
*Revise content that is cumbersome and of no benefit. Add content that is relevant to the specific entry template and useful to its audience.
*Share your experience as a contributor by offering new templates that you have personally found useful in the creation of entries. Although they are currently broken down by part of speech, the themes of these entry templates are not rigid. Consider a like-minded contributor trying to hammer out the format and how they might benefit.▼
*In order to prevent wrong categorization of the templates themselves it is possible and recomended to use <tt><nowiki><includeonly></nowiki></tt> as in
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
with any template used as a preload. It works just like it does with normal inclusion.
*While it would be useful to categorize the templates, it is not currently possible to use <tt><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></tt> as in
<pre><nowiki>
Line 37 ⟶ 34:

*Avoid the potential for an edit war. Clearly comment any changes to the entry templates, even minor ones. Do not try to effect a change in the overall style or formatting by altering the templates without discussion.
