    Line 57:
    *If the terms are exceptionally well-known, old and/or common and there are no concerns over a coiner having their terms used without permission (eg: lesbian, non-binary, androgyne, neutrois, agender, greygender, demigirl, m-spec, bi, demiromantic, omnisexual, xenogender).
    *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).
     
    === 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 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]].
    * You may add alternate names, but do not change the main name used in the article because ''you'' think individuals should use another name.
     
    ==Allowed With Restrictions==
    Line 74 ⟶ 80:
    *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 Wiki:Style Guide|style guide]] or [[LGBTA Wiki:New Page Guidelines|page guidelines]].
     
    === Flags ===
    * Do not remove existing flags from a page unless you are the creator of the flag or are doing so with permission from the creator.
    * Do not change which flag is at the top of the page unless the community has widely accepted it as the new flag.
    * If a page states that the coiner does not want others to create alternate flags for their terms, respect this request.
     
    ===Acceptable Edits===
    Line 82 ⟶ 93:
    * Removing recoinings and information that was not present in the term's original definition (make sure you report instances of recoining to a moderator).
    * [[Rollback Guide|Rolling back any vandalism]] (make sure to report instances of vandalism to a moderator), if you know how to do so (please do not attempt to perform rollbacks if you do not fully understand how to do so correctly).
