To clarify on my original post:
I have a text file of dictionary terms - word, definition plus another file of word, synonyms - since I already have it in this format it would be a lot easier to import it.
I CAN reformat the file, but to enter it manually would take too long (there are over 20,000 entries in the dictionary file alone, more in the synonyms).
I do not have a complete understanding of the database schema so the answer may be obvious to others; any insight would be helpful.
Now that you have clarified your intention it is evident that this is a Wiktionary matter.
This might be raised in [[Wiktionary:Beer parlour]], but I suspect that it would not receive a warm reception. While the words which are not yet in Wiktionary might be welcomed there would remain the question of how do you propose to reconcile your contributions with the words that we already have. To the extent that any upload may be possible it should also be done at a rate that is slow enough to allow others to ask questions about each of your contributions. Perhaps by first entering a small sample of your files you could develop the confidence of the Wiktionary community that your contributions are acceptable.
