This wiki can be edited by anyone, but as a measure to reduce vandalism, editors are required to first create an account and verify it by e-mail. After you have created an account, to display Lushootseed letters when editing a page, please go to "preferences" in the upper right corner, click the "gadgets" tab and check "<gadget-Edittools>."
Creating a new entry
To create a new entry, enter the word in the search box in the upper right corner of any page and press enter. An option will appear to create a new entry if it does not yet exist. Please note that all Lushootseed entries should start with a small letter ("sqigʷəc" not "Sqigʷəc"), and English entries should start with a capital letter only when that is the standard form ("Monday," "Washington," etc.)
- Hint: There is a lot of formatting in entries. To help, we are working on a template that you can fill in. In the meantime, the easiest way to make an entry with formatting is to copy the contents of a different entry and just replace where necessary.
- Provisional rule for the Lushootseed Wiktionary: For easier searching, entry words in Lushootseed should not have accent marks. They can be added as alternate spellings. See swədəbš for an example.
