 ==Do Not Include==
 These are thing that should ''never'' be put in an article:
-#Do not mention the "possible pronouns" or "recommended pronouns" for a gender. Any gender can use any pronouns.
+#Do not mention the "possible pronouns" or "recommended pronouns" for a gender.
+#Do not include an "also see" section. If other terms are relevant or related they should be mentioned in the body of the article.
-#For genders, do not mention groups that the gender is "mainly (but not exclusively) used by [insert group here]" or similar (eg: do not say something like "the majority of people who identify as bigender are AFAB"). Most of the time these "trends" are unprovable and it does nothing but discourage people outside that group from using the term. Do not mention this unless the identity is explicitly intended for or is exclusive to a given group.
+#Do not make WIP (work in progress) pages or WIP sections. They will be deleted/removed accordingly.
-#Do not talk about how a term is new or is not well known (eg: do not say "This identity is new, so very few people know about it/use it.") This is unnecessary, can quickly become outdated, and does nothing but discourage people from using the term.
-#Do not include an "also see" section. If other terms are relevant or related they should be mentioned in the body of the article, making it unnecessary to but them in an "also see" section.
-#Do not make WIP pages. They will be deleted.
-#Do not include WIP sections. They will be removed.
-#Do not talk to other users within an article or ask other users to do things within the article. (Do not say "idk how to add images can someone else do it" or "if someone else wants to make the flag please do that".)
-#Do not beg the reader to do something (Do not say "please respect people's identities").
 #Do not add "notes from the creator".
+#For genders, do not mention groups that the gender is "mainly (but not exclusively) used by [insert group]" or similar (eg: "the majority of people who identify as bigender are AFAB").

-#Do not talk about how people can identify however they want. This does not have to be said.
+#Do not talk about how a term is new or is not well known - this is unnecessary.
-#Do not address the reader in any way. Articles should be written purely as an accumulation of knowledge with no intended reader.
