All articles and edits must follow
You are responsible for making sure your page meets the standards listed here and in the style guide. If minor aspects are wrong, it can be edited, but if major sections are wrong or missing, or the page is incomprehensible, then it will be deleted.
Line 10:
*Do not make pages to promote accounts/discord servers/other websites, etc.
*Absolutely no "joke pages/edits" or "satire pages/edits". These pages/edits will be treated with the same severity as if it were serious, regardless of your intentions.
*No pages for "identities" that were created with the purpose of passive-aggressively complaining about
===New Pages===
*You do not have to ask to make a page; you do not have to personally identify with a term to make a page for it (unless it's exclusive to a group you're not part of).
*Terms cannot be coined via the creation of an article on this wiki
*New pages must have an acceptable resources section. This is to promote data integrity and avoid loss of work (example, all the FANDOM created articles that are now gone since FANDOM deleted them).
*
*New pages must be added to their lowest applicable category. For example, a Cabingender would fall under the Buildinggender category, NOT the Xenogender category (because Buildinggender already falls under Xenogender).
===Relevance===
Line 24 ⟶ 26:
*No pages for individuals, couples, or small groups. This wiki is for identities, terminology, and ''occasionally'' large or significant groups.
*No pages for LGBT+ sub-groups based on ethnicity, nationality, religion, politic affiliation, or ideologies (eg. Israeli transgender, queer anarchism, etc).
*No pages for: alternate spellings/names for terms (aside from, potentially, redirects), or flags/alternate flags or symbols.
*No pages for
*No pages for attractions to specific objects/concepts.
===Exclusive Identities===▼
*Do not coin identities exclusive to minority groups you don't belong to/have no experience of. ▼
*Do not make pages for exclusive identities which are exclusive to groups you're not part of.▼
*Do not coin terms that explicitly exclude people of minority groups you don't belong to (and are not on the basis of gender or sexuality).▼
*Do not edit pages that are exclusive to groups you're not part of (aside from minor grammatical edits/edits to make the page conform to the style guide).▼
===Terms And Individuals===
Line 36 ⟶ 45:
Though one's gender can certainly be related to/influenced by real-life individuals, and one may only experience attracted to a specific individual/group of individuals, pages for these identities may not be created, as this would be inappropriate and disrespectful to said individual(s).
==Coiner Consent and Integrity==
▲===Exclusive Identities===
▲*Do not coin identities exclusive to minority groups you don't belong to/have no experience of.
▲*Do not make pages for exclusive identities which are exclusive to groups you're not part of.
▲*Do not coin terms that explicitly exclude people of minority groups you don't belong to (and are not on the basis of gender or sexuality).
▲*Do not edit pages that are exclusive to groups you're not part of (aside from minor grammatical edits/edits to make the page conform to the style guide).
===Variations And Combinations===
====Crediting====
The only exceptions to this are cases where there is no concern over coiners having their terms used without permission:
Line 57 ⟶ 62:
*If a coiner has publicly stated that their terms may be used in this way (in which case one must provide a reference confirming as such).
===Terms
*Pages for systems of terms will be held to the same standards in terms of their history sections and resources as any other pages. Terms systems may not be coined via the creation of an article.
*Pages should not be created for systems of terms where the system or the terms within it are exclusive to a group that the creator is not a part of.
====Coiner Consent====
Term systems cannot include terms that the creator of the system didn't also coin themselves, unless they have received explicit permission from the coiner of the term (evidence of which must be uploaded to a gallery at the bottom of the page or linked as a resource). This applies even if said terms would technically "fit" into the system by definition. This also applies to adding other coiners' term systems as "sub-systems" without consent, and anything similar.
====Page Separation====
*Terms in a system must be listed on the main system page, and any pages for terms within a system should mention and link the main system page.
*As long as all pages contain proper resourcing, history sections and crediting, and the terms are all unique, the creator of a system and its terms can decide whether to create separate pages for each term in their system, regardless of the number of terms in the system or how much information is contained in the terms' definitions (as long as it's more than "[term] is a term in the [term system]").
*If on a separated page, further variations or subsets of a term in a system (eg, terms where the definition is just that it is a -flux, -girl, -demi, etc, version of the term) should ideally be kept on the same page as said term rather than separated onto another page, unless said variations/subsets contain a significant amount of different/unique information, in which case they may be separated. This is, however, largely up to the discretion of the coiner.
====Other Coiners' Systems====
*One may not coin terms or create "sub-systems" and add them under other coiners' term systems without consent, unless there are no concerns over coiners having terms added to their systems without permission, such as if a coiner has publicly stated that their terms may be used in this way (in which case a reference confirming as such should be present on the main page for the term system).
*If a term is added to a system without explicit coiner consent, terms should still "make sense" within, and be appropriate additions to, that system.
===Recoining===
*Do not edit pages in a way that (fundamentally or otherwise) changes the definition of a term unless you are the coiner, or are doing so with permission from the coiner. This includes: adding additional aspects to the term that wasn't intended in the coining, removing information regarding the term's definition, completely changing the definition, etc. This will be taken very seriously.
*Do not "coin" terms with the same name as a term that has already been coined, regardless of whether said term has a page on the wiki. This especially applies to terms being "coined" after November 10th, 2021, and it applies regardless of where the term was "coined". For example, do not make a page for a term someone coined on Tumblr two days ago, if a term by that same name was actually originally coined six months ago.
*Do not rename pages or change the primary name used in a page, unless: you are the creator of the term, the community has ''widely'' agreed on the new name, the name is incorrect/spelled wrong, or you are otherwise making it compliant with the [[LGBTA Wiki:Style Guide|style guide]].▼
*Do not make a page for an identity where the definition is identical to that of a pre-existing term, unless there is a significant reason for doing so.
▲*Do not rename pages or change the primary name used in a page, unless: you are the creator of the term, the community has ''widely'' agreed on the new name, the name is incorrect/spelled wrong, or you are otherwise making it compliant with the [[LGBTA
*You may add alternate names for terms, however, this should only be done with coiner consent if possible, and if a coiner does not want alternate names created for their terms, this should be respected.
===Archiving Recoinings And Independent Coinings===
*Any coiner should reserve the right to have recoined information/secondary definitions removed from their terms' pages.
*To emphasize, alternate definitions and recoinings should never be created intentionally, and will not be accepted in any form if added/coined after November 10th, 2021 - any information that wasn't present at the original coining should only be recorded if necessary for the sake of archiving and preserving a term's history and/or at the request of a term's coiner.
*For terms that were independently coined by multiple users before November 10th, 2021, it may be possible to include said multiple definitions on a page, however, the different definitions must be clearly separated and individually credited, rather than combined in any way.
*A term should be archived with its original intended definition, aside from in exceptional circumstances where additional information is very significant, in which case information added via recoinings may potentially be included on a page. However, there must be a clear distinction made between the original definition and any recoined information, and this should only ever be included if it is significant to the evolution of/the widely-accepted understanding of a term.
*The first/original coining of a term should always be listed first in an article if possible, unless another definition is widely accepted as the definition of the term, or the definition has evolved over time to a point where it would make much more sense to list it as the first definition on the page (though this should be avoided except in exceptional circumstances), in which case the original definition should still be clearly stated and credited on the page as the original coining).
==Editing==
*You do not need to ask to edit a page; you do not need to have created a page to edit it; and you do not need to personally identify with a term to edit its page (as long as the term is not exclusive to a group you are not part of and you are making edits in accordance with the guidelines).
*Do not repeatedly remake a page that has been deleted without consulting moderators to know why it was deleted.
*Do not participate in "edit warring"- repeatedly creating/adding/changing content that is unnecessary, unproductive, or goes against the [[LGBTA
*Do not remove major amounts of information or content that you did not write. Only remove things that go against the the [[LGBTA
*Do not add random "comments" on a page; please utilise the page's comments section (eg: do not add, "wow, I can edit this", or "this is valid").
Line 77 ⟶ 101:
===Acceptable Edits===
*Fixing minor spelling/grammar mistakes; adjusting presentation and formatting; adding (appropriate) captions to images that don't have a caption; and adjusting minor instances of language use (as long as these edits do not in any way alter the definition of a term) so that the article is compliant with the [[LGBTA
* Adding flags or alternate flags if you find one/make one (as long as the coiner consents to this and the term is not exclusive to a group you are not part of).
* Ensuring that the information in articles is correct (aligned with the original coining of a term) and adjusting text accordingly.
Line 87 ⟶ 111:
Some pages that are allowed, but have certain guidelines regarding them.
