Line 54:
===Etymology===
Etymology sections are optional. Only include this information if the etymology of the term is known and is interesting. Do ''not'' point out things that are exceptionally obvious. (eg: Do not point out that "cat-" in catgender means it's related to cats, and "-gender" means it's a gender).
===Coiner Boundaries===
Coiner boundaries sections are optional. Do not create a coiner boundaries section just to say "the coiner's boundaries are unknown".
*A coiner may state on a page whether or not they consent to alternate flags and alternate names being added to the page for their term(s). This should still be written in formal, third person American English (i.e, "The coiner of [term] does not consent to alternate flags being added to this page."). Ideally, an external resource should be provided for this, rather than the statement just being written on the page.
*If a page does not contain a coiner boundaries section, it should never be assumed that a coiner consents to their term being edited/alternate names being created for it. Alternate flags are, however, generally allowed to be added unless a coiner does not want them to be.
*Coiners reserve the right to have alternate names and flags, etc, removed from a page, even if they previously stated that they consented to them being added.
*For any additions to a page that a coiner did not make themselves, it should be made clear who made them and when, and that they were not made by the coiner, even if a coiner consents to additions being made.
