     I think Wikt is reaching far out on extension and losing touch with the primary meaning as in OED.

     I would say that most (i.e. >50%) of new visitors who do anything on Wikt are the ones who come and create a new term that is made up, either their local micro-slang, or something they've just made up alone, or some kind of promotional term related to their Web site.

     @RichStanton @combinehunter they're both fine. […] now the verb's in every dictionary I can find (OED, MW, AH, Wikt).

     Things behind Simple English Wikt project. Interesting discussion.

     I'm not sure Lithuanian has those words with those meanings as given in Wikt[.] Lithuanina mukti seems to mean 'moo' (in English). Unless a reliable Lithuanian scholar testifies, these can not be taken at face value. Plus the age the word was used. Lith is usu late.

     Now you see I made this on Inkscape because Wikt modules are gibberish to me (I don’t know how to use Lua)
     
     Though there is another joke on a userpage somewhere; you can try finding it

     IIRC this word is especially well-covered on Wikt. It also has the one of highest number of translations.

     Wang and Bond (2013) took a different approach to the construction of the Chinese Open WordNet (COW). Rather than hiring a team of professional translators, the researchers drew upon earlier resources, including the Southeast University WordNet of Chinese (SEW) and Wiktionary (WIKT).^[sic]

     That's not dialectal, much less nonstandard. Wikt lists the sense "at every time that" without any usage markers, and gives the quotation "Working around an ancient monument has meant having an archaeologist on site whenever there were excavations." The usage markers for the punctual sense are "Ireland, US regional, nonstandard".
