* '''Articles must have sources.''' Not having sources for coining or definitions is '''not acceptable'''.
Tumblr or Wiki forum links are acceptable sources (for example), but [https://web.archive.org/save web archive] [https://archive.is/ or archive.is] links are ''greatly'' preferred to help preserve content, and we encourage archiving coiningany links you might add to an article, especially original coining posts.

▲* Redefining existing terms with the same name is '''not acceptable'''. Coining a new term with the same exact name as an already existing term can only cause confusion. Do not edit articles in a way that fundamentally changes the definition of terms (unless you are the author or do so with their permission). This includes adding other aspects that are not part of the term, deleting information about the definition of the term, or simply changing the definition completely.
If a term has already been unintentionally recoined with the same name and a different definition, this should be mentioned on the page itself in that page's definitions and history sections. In some cases, it may be chosen to separate the two versions of the term into different pages (such as [[Dreamgender]] and [[Dreamgender (Mcytgender)]]).▼
Separating two versions of a term isn't preferable, but is also sometimes necessary to keep information easy to find, accurate, and clear. Choosing to separate two different iterations of an article should be a community decision. Any user who thinks it would be appropriate to do so can start a discussion about this in the comments, and [[Template:Separate]] may be added to the top of the article to help bring attention to that discussion. Major reasons a term should get different pages for different definitions:
▲If a term has already been unintentionally recoined with the same name and a different definition, this should be mentioned on the page itself in that page's definitions and history sections.
* Context of the second coining implies that coiner had no idea of the original one
* The second coining shares no relation whatsoever to the first one (such as [[Dreamgender]] and [[Dreamgender (Mcytgender)]], where one is a mutogender and one is a mcytgender).
