:{{ping|Dcljr}} From what I know this Hindi Wiktionary imports definitions from {{w|Shabdasgar}} (much like the [[:sa:|Sanskrit Wiktionary]], which does it from multiple sources). The imported/Shabdasagar definitions are kept in a separate section so as to not mix them up with the user added entries. They are put under the Shabdasagar sub-heading on a page and categories are added for that. "Wikifying" these entries would make them amenable to edits which are better put to use in the non-published user added entries.

:: Hmm. OK, but since ''everything'' in this wiki is "amenable to edits", trying to prevent changes merely by smooshing a bunch of text together in one paragraph is, I think, bound to fail as a long-term strategy. I would recommend using one or more templates to format the text in a special way (e.g., as a [[w:en:blockquote|blockquote]]), including a citation of the source and a link to a relevant Wikipedia article (preferably, in Hindi — BTW, the link to {{w|Shabdasgar}} leads nowehere, as do [[w:Shabdasgar]] and [[w:शब्दसागर]]). And I would recommend using normal wiki markup (lists, blank lines separating paragraphs, etc.), as appropriate, in addition to these other methods. - [[सदस्य:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[सदस्य वार्ता:Dcljr|वार्ता]]) ०१:०८, ७ जुलाई २०१९ (UTC)
:::{{ping|Dcljr}} Honestly, I am not much familiar with wiki markup and I do not know how these definitions were imported here. Though as a reader I found them pretty useful (especially when you are jumping between different Wiktionaries, e.g. English<->Hindi) and was trying to prevent unintended edits here. Your suggestions do sound very apt though, maybe one of the admins can take up the things you mentioned above. Sorry for linking to the wrong page, here is the article for the dictionary these definitions are from on the hiwiki {{w|:hi:हिंदी शब्दसागर|हिंदी शब्दसागर}}; and the {{w|Digital South Asia Library}} link from where they were probably imported https://dsalsrv04.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/dasa-hindi/.
