Dear Sukh
Thanks for looking into the entries and correcting the mistakes I made on pa.wiktionary.org. I am wondering about some of the changes you made to some of the links.
[[:en:format|format]] takes the user to http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/format
while [[format]] looks for the entry on pa.wiktionary.org
Once again thanks for your help and all the good work you are doing for different Panjabi sites.

- Hi! Thanks for your welcome and welcome to you! :)
- The [[:en:format|format]] link basically points to a page on the English wikipedia (or whichever wikipedia you want, just replace 'en'). If you miss off the first colon, you get [[en:format|format]] which adds an interwiki link on the bottom left hand corner (underneath the toolbox).
- The Punjabi wiktionary isn't designed just for Punjabi words. It's designed as a dictionary to explain the meanings of all terms in Punjabi. So it's perfectly acceptable to have English, French, German, Punjabi etcetera words but all defined in Punjabi.
- If you want a user to be able to see the English version of the current page, you add the [[en:format|format]] link (you should do this anyway if you can because it will help in making a Punjabi -> English dictionary and a robot will come along every now and again and add new languages). If you want the user to know the English equivalent to the current word, merely add it as a standard link [[format]] . You shouldn't really need to use the [[:en:format|format]] version.
- If you still don't get what I mean, check out some words on the English wiktionary! Sukh ੦੦:੫੧, ੨ ਜੂਨ ੨੦੦੬ (UTC)
- Actually, it appears I'm wrong! :) The Punjabi language page should actually link to the Punjabi page on the English Wikipedia. For example, for the word "ਮੈਂ" you should link to [[en:ਮੈਂ]] not [[en:I]]. So yes, you original links would be useful. Sorry for the confusion :/ Sukh ੦੧:੧੭, ੨ ਜੂਨ ੨੦੦੬ (UTC)
