==Article Text==
Do not use jargon/overly complex terminology unless appropriate. Articles should be as comprehensible and concise as possible.▼
===Swear Words and Sensitive Content===▼
*Swear words in articles are only allowed if they are part of an identity's name (see: [[genderf*ck]]), in which case they should be censored with an asterisk on the vowels. Swear words are also allowed if they are part of someone's username, in which case they can appear uncensored. ▼
*Words that are vulgar strictly because they are LGBT+ slurs can appear uncensored, though they should be used sparingly when not being used as a reclaimed identity.▼
*Terms related to sex (both the biological concept ''and'' the act of sex) are not swear words, so long as the words used are suitable for a medical setting (no slang terms) they may be used.▼
*If necessary you may include the <nowiki>{{Warning}}</nowiki> template at the top of the page to warning for potentially upsetting content on a page. Do not include "content warnings" in any other way.▼
===Text Formatting===
*All articles must be written in English.
*The title of the article must be the first word in the article (or as close to the first word as it can possibly get). Any alternate terms, alternate spellings, and abbreviations must be placed immediately after it.
*The first sentence must be a definition of the term. Any other information is secondary to the definition. Do not directly copy/paste the definition from somewhere else without ensuring it meets our criteria for formatting. The definition cannot be written as a quote.
*The title of the article must be bolded. Any alternate term/alternate spellings, abbreviations, and subsets must also be bolded. Only the first mention of these names should be bolded.
*Do not bold any words other than the cases above.
*Do not italicize random words. Italics should
*Do not: type any words in all caps or in non-standard type registers, replace letters in words with numbers, symbols, or slashes, or do any other things that would prevent a text to speech program from being able to read the text unless it is part of a term's name or in a direct quote.
*Do not add unnecessarily large spaces between paragraphs
▲*Do not italicize random words. Italics should ''only'' be used for occasional speech emphasis or in the cases listed above.
▲*Do not add unnecessarily large spaces between paragraphs. One press of the enter key is enough.

====Point of View and Pronouns Used====
Present articles objectively. All articles should be written in a formal, third person, present tense.
*Never write in the first person. First person quotes should be avoided if possible. Words like "we" and "our" are in the first person.
*Use the pronouns "one" and "they" when talking about a hypothetic person.

*When mentioning someone's username do NOT include "@", "u/", or any other things that some websites use to specify users.
*For numbers twelve and less, they should be spelled out (with the exception of dates). Numbers 13 or greater should be written with numerals.
Line 129 ⟶ 112:
*When talking about identities, especially genders, avoid using doubtful language such as "they believe they are...".
*Don't misgender anyone when talking about them in the history section. If in doubt use the individual's name or use they/them pronouns.
