Relatit steids
[eedit soorce]Wikipaedia is for prose airticles aboot subjecks conseidered encyclopaedic (alang wi some topics that wad maistlins be foond in an almanac).
Onie airticle that juist defines a word, or short phrase, sic as ye micht finnd in an ordinar dictionary, an that canna be biggit intil an encyclopaedic entry, shuid be contreibuted ti Wikipaedia's sester projeck, Wiktionary.
