Although some of us would like to encourage other-language Wiktionaries, so far only the English version exists. If you have somebody who likes writing up dictionary articles in Hungarian, maybe you can convince him to start a Hungarian Wiktionary. :-)
Well, not that anyone would allocate time for that, but newbies usually create dictionary entries (in Hungarian), and would be useful to keep them instead of deleting. If a hu.wiktionary doesn't require much space or resources it would be nice, even if there would be only 46 articles a year...
That being said, if someone wants to write up English definitions for Hungarian words that would go on the English Wiktionary.
Sure. (To be honest, I don't really grasp the idea, since it's pretty time consuming to update a definition. For example there's a word for "Dog", and there are 23 pages describing dog in 23 other languages. Then I come, and want to share Hungarian Dog, so I have to edit *24* pages to insert Dog everywhere. I know, it's a wiki not a database, but still, prevents me from wanting to do anything serious there.)
- entire quoted books; (They belong in Wikibooks)
A user started to enter his own fictions and writings in the .hu.wikipedia. Right now I can only send him to... anywhere else, and delete the "articles". Do they belong to Wikibooks? Essays, novels, any kind of "fictional facts" and other nonsense?
My opinion is that works of original fiction don't belong in any of these, but if the Hungarian Wikipedians decide a different policy that's their choice, You're not going to get a lot of objections from those of us who don't understand a word of Hungarian
My opinion is that Wikipedia is not a short story publisher, and he can go to any free web provider or freeform-wiki to publish these. Thanks for the opinion. :)
