=== Formatting ===
All articles need to be properly formatted. [[:Category:Guide|The Guide category contains example pages that explain the expected formatting for different varieties of pages.]] One can copy the content of a Guide page and paste it into a new page to begin to make it easier. If you don't have something needed for the page's content at the time of creating a page, adding [[Template:Cleanup]] and specifying what the page needs is acceptable, or adding [[Template:CitationNeeded]].
=== Sourcing ===
==== Unacceptable Sources ====
* '''Entire Wiki pages (LGBTA Wiki, Wikipedia, Mogaipedia, etc)'''
Citing an entire WIki page is '''not allowed'''. If a Wiki page has citations, '''those citations themselves''' can be used on the page on our Wiki. Another WIki's page is a result of up to hundreds of edits by hundreds of different users and not a singular source, and the information within it can be completely changed at any time, making it an ''invalid source''.
* '''Page As Original Source'''
Making a page to coin a term and having it be the original/only source of coining is '''not acceptable.''' Wiki pages shouldn't be used for this. Wikias are aggregates of information, '''not''' sources of them. Wiki pages are not social media and shouldn't be used as original posts. A coining post can be made in the forums, on Tumblr, or on nearly any other site.
'''As a general rule: If Wikipedia wouldn't allow it as a source, neither would we.'''
==== Acceptable Sources ====
▲* '''Articles must have sources.''' Not having sources for coining or definitions is '''not acceptable'''.
[https://ezgender.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000031526 A tutorial and masterlist of common source is here]. This is not a complete list, and users can cite (nearly) any website or published piece of media. In general, you should feel free to make your own judgement on whether or not a site is trustworthy enough to be cited as a source.
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 any links you might add to an article, especially original coining posts. If you don't have a link at the time of editing a page, adding [[Template:Cleanup]] and specifying what the page needs is acceptable. Repeatedly creating articles with no sources (and no usage of the templates mentioned previously) may result in temporary bans.
=== Recoining ===
* 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 and is extremely different (such as [[Dreamgender]] and [[Dreamgender (Mcytgender)]], where one is a mutogender and one is a mcytgender).
== Community & Conduct ==
*'''Assuming good faith and keeping an open mind is key.''' We ask that you try to understand that even for identities that seem on the surface "contradictory" and "useless," having a label for experiences is very important to those people.
*Commenting that someone's identity is "just" another word for a similar term (such as commenting that pan is just the same as bi), or similar microaggressions is not tolerated. Asking questions is accepted, but asserting that something isn't needed isn't.
'''No overt bigotry.''' Comments and articles that insult or put down minority groups are '''not allowed'''. This includes:
* '''Specific erasure or prejudice against portions of the LGBTQ+ community''' such as [[Bi#Perceptions and Discrimination|biphobia]], [[Transgender#Perceptions and Discrimination|transphobia]], transmisogyny, [[Stellian#Perceptions and Discrimination|stellphobia]], [[Asexual#Perceptions%20and%20Discrimination|aphobia]], etc.
* '''Ableism''' (Neurodivergent and physically disabled experiences need to be respected and understood, and discriminating against someone for perceived or actual disability is not allowed.)
* '''Whorephobia''' (Although this wiki will not focus on or host NSFW/overtly sexual content, respect should be given towards SWs and anti-SW sentiment is not allowed.)
* '''Pluralantagonism''' (Systems are welcome on our wiki, and content invalidating them, including non-traumagenic systems, is not allowed.)
