'''OmegaWiki''' is self-described as a "collaborative project to produce a free, {{tag|multilingual}} dictionary in every {{tag|language}}, with lexicological, terminological and {{tag|thesaurus}} information". In other words, "{{tag|information}} on all words of all languages", a multilingual {{tag|dictionary}} whose entries have definitions translated to as many languages as possible and which provides synonyms and translations for the word in even more languages. Significantly, the OmegaWiki {{tag|data}} is available in a relational {{tag|database}}, and it uses '{{tag|wikidata}}', making it possible to use the [[wiki]]s data for many purposes. | '''OmegaWiki''' is self-described as a "collaborative project to produce a free, {{tag|multilingual}} dictionary in every {{tag|language}}, with lexicological, terminological and {{tag|thesaurus}} information".

OmegaWiki uses an unusual [[:Category:Wiki Edit Mode|edit mode]] – "As an anonymous user ({{tag|OpenEdit}}, aka [[IP editor]]), you can only add new data. If you would like to also modify existing data, please create an account and indicate your languages on your user page" ({{tag|LoginToEdit}}). The primary language used on the wiki is {{tag|Wiki English|English}}, but all other languages can be user selectable. | OmegaWiki uses an unusual [[:Category:Wiki Edit Mode|edit mode]] – "As an anonymous user ({{tag|OpenEdit}}, aka [[IP editor]]), you can only add new data.

As of February 2011, OmegaWiki had portals in 292 [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]], representing the theoretical number of languages a word could be defined in. In its paging structure, OmegaWiki differentiates between ''[[OmegaWiki:Help:Expression|expressions]]'' and ''[[OmegaWiki:Help:DefinedMeaning|defined meanings]]'' (which correspond in a printed dictionary roughly to entries or words and to numbered definitions). The number of expressions in various languages is [[OmegaWiki:Special:Ow_statistics?showstat=exp|readily accessible]] at one of the OmegaWiki statistics pages. The most recent check<sup>[''when?'']</sup> of this information showed 11 languages with more than 10,000 expressions, another 63 languages with 500 or more expressions, 151 with fewer than than but still more than five expressions, and 57 languages with five or fewer expressions. As of March 2013, its stats showed it had 422 languages, 46,263 defined meanings, and 478,138 expressions. | As of February 2011, OmegaWiki had portals in 292 [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]], representing the theoretical number of languages a word could be defined in.
