General philosophy of Wiktionary

Our business is documenting existing words, not inventing new ones. Equinox ◑ 05:26, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

I assume that it's not intended that the entries' Talk pages are used to advocate for new words. On the other hand, the following (inter alia) would be valid:

• discussing the difficulty of providing English translations to an "exceed" antonym on a non-English-language Wiktionary;
• documenting usage of relatively obscure English-language antonyms of "exceed", and debating whether the usage is sufficient evidence to qualify as a word in Wiktionary.
