History sections are optional but highly recommended. If a history section is provided it should include who coined the term, when they did so, and on what site, as well as any other interesting information about the origin of this term. Sources are '''required''' for this section. When writing a history section for an existing page do ''not'' assume the person who created the page on this wiki created the term.▼
