Hi there. See 哀傷 for how to format a Mandarin adjective (I know nothing of the language). SemperBlotto 16:39, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

You are still not doing it correctly.

# Look closely at how the templates are used in the example SemperBlotto gave you.

# Create both the simplified and traditional entries. Again use the above example as the entrypoint.

Welcome to Wiktionary

Hi, I'm a long time contributor to Wiktionary and I specialize in Mandarin (classical and modern) and Min Nan entries. Please feel free to post questions to my talk page about formatting, usage etc. I noticed that you had asked about Classical Chinese on Beer Parlor. I posted some thoughts there for your reference. Here are some links for you that might be helpful as you get started:

• Wiktionary:Entry layout explained (short cut: WT:ELE)
• Wiktionary:About Chinese (short cut: WT:AC)
• Category:Chinese templates

I hope you stick around and create many more valuable entries for us. Thanks. -- A-cai 01:59, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

What is it doing?

I cannot figure out what this template is doing. It is not visible in the entry or anywhere else. 71.66.97.228 05:01, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

It is allowing me to link to that particular sense from Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion on Wikisource. Craig Baker 05:09, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Nothing is showing up anywhere about this. Can the template be modified so that when you add it, users can actually see that it is doing something? 71.66.97.228 05:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm new to this and don't know anything about modifying templates; but I don't think users are supposed to see that it is doing something on the entry page. It is used as an anchor when linking from elsewhere. Everything I know about using this template, I learned from the few answers to my question in the Beer Parlor: Linking to a particular sense within an entry.
