It’s the sister project of Wikipedia, being a dictionary. Being edited by its users it may not be reliable.

like all wikis, it is not a reliable source, this doesn’t mean it isn’t useful

I find the cross-language links are very helpful in exploring etymology. Better than commercial dictionaries in that regard.

Its great, I’d argue its main downfall (lack of popularity) stems a lot from the fact they don’t have any form of API like Wikipedia does. They can’t even agree on a single logo. Otherwise its a great resource.

It’s amazing. I am a Japanese learner, and being able to find Japanese words quickly - with English definitions and explanations - is very useful.

It’s decent and I find it useful a lot
I have Aard2-Android installed on my phone, which is a foss dictionary app. They use wiktionary as sources for some dictionaries and I use the Malayalam, ml.wiktionary.org one.
It’s quite accurate and very useful as it’s offline(as I’m on 3G most of the time).You can create your own dictionary files from Kiwix Zim files, using pyglossary. I was able to do it in GCollab.
