FAQs

Is Wiktionary owned by Wikipedia? ›

Like its sister project Wikipedia, Wiktionary is run by the Wikimedia Foundation, and is written collaboratively by volunteers, dubbed "Wiktionarians". Its wiki software, MediaWiki, allows almost anyone with access to the website to create and edit entries.

Wiktionary has grown beyond a standard dictionary and now includes a thesaurus, a rhyme guide, phrase books, language statistics and extensive appendices. We aim to include not only the definition of a word, but also enough information to really understand it.

Wiktionary is a multilingual, web-based project to create a free content dictionary of all words in all languages. It is collaboratively edited via a wiki, and its name is a portmanteau of the words wiki and dictionary. It is available in 171 languages and in Simple English.

It's credible, but like any community edited resource it has gaps and inaccuracies. I think different dictionaries excel at different aspects, so usually I end up using thefreedictionary.com which is a consolidator.

controversial (comparative more controversial, superlative most controversial) Arousing controversy—a debate or discussion of opposing opinions.

From Middle High German plate, from late Old High German platta, from Vulgar Latin *platta, *plattus, from Ancient Greek πλατύς (platús, “wide; flat”). Doublet of Plätte.

Ville Platte means "Flat Town" in French, and the town was so named because it was the first settlement on level land that stagecoach passengers reached when traveling south from the rolling hills of north Louisiana. Perhaps no parish in Acadiana is more possessive of its heritage than Evangeline.

More than a dictionary, the OED is a comprehensive guide to current and historical word meanings in English. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is widely accepted as the most complete record of the English language ever assembled.

While the Oxford English Dictionary gives you the meaning of the word as well as its origin, the Cambridge Dictionary gives a more practical explanation along with an example of how to use the word in a sentence.

Does Wiktionary have an API? ›

Wiktionary API

There are two different APIs available for full editor and reader access to Wiktionary. The ? action= query-string based api is necessarily complex, and is well-documented on the MediaWiki wiki, and is more cryptically self-documenting.

cheating (comparative more cheating, superlative most cheating) Unsporting or underhand. Unfaithful or adulterous.

Of or pertaining to God or a place of worship; sacred, pure; (Christianity, specifically) inspired by the Holy Spirit. Of or pertaining to spirits; supernatural. Consisting of spirit; not material; incorporeal.

Wiktionary is run by the Wikimedia Foundation, which also runs Wikipedia. The English Wiktionary currently has over 7.3 million pages and 4.0 million users. Much like Wikipedia, the Wiktionary is run in several different languages that can be selected from its main page. These include the Simple English Wiktionary.
