Each Wiktionary edition contains entries for words in many different ?languages, and each of those pages contain translations into many different languages. For example, the English Wiktionary has an entry on the German word Abnahme, which is translated to abatement, whose entry lists translations in Finnish, French, German, and other languages. The entry on abatement also links to the abatement entry at the Italian Wiktionary, which translates the word as "ribasso."

We don't have - as far as I know - a collection of grammars, not even the English one in one place, structurated by chapters (like in school) which can help us. I will (I don't know when I have time) try to start an example of what I mean by creating the structure of one language's grammar.

There were a few guides to grammar and learning languages in the 
earliest days of Wiktionary.  These were moved to Wikibooks.  I am not 
convinced that there is a need for a whole new project.
