First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Lingua Libre does not use this format because they aim to have multiple recordings for each (language, word) couple, and it would obviously not work.  — Ltrlg (talk), 20:28, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ltrlg: It would be really valuable to have a discussion with the Wiktionary community about this. This format works for entering the audio files, but I assume the point is for those files to be used on Wikimedia wikis. I can assure you that unless the naming is standardised or you partner with us in some way, these files will not get used on Wiktionary, and that would be a shame.

One of the goals of Lingua Libre is indeed to provide recordings for Wikimedia. Please look at the description page for more. The main developer of Lingua Libre has developed a bot that adds these files to some wikis aleady (Lingua Libre Bot). The French Wiktionary is happy with it, but it may be less relevant for wikis that don’t want huge lists of audio pronunciations added to pages. I’m not sure why he didn’t develop the bot for the English community yet, but I found no evidence of someone taking the chance after his message. (I’m not involved with LL more than being a contributor, BTW. I just saw your request because this was in my watchlist.)  — Ltrlg (talk), 03:31, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ltrlg: Thank you for your help in this matter. I guess I missed that message, but I'll contact him now. Metaknowledge (talk) 04:08, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't think it's reasonable to have per-project naming conventions. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:25, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
