Queers R Us Wiki- New Page Guidelines

Before creating a page for something on this wiki, please read through these guidelines! If you ever need help with a page or clarification on whether a certain page is allowed, please contact an administrator or moderator!

## Relevance

1. As stated in the community guidelines, content of this wiki's pages must be related to queer content in some way. Pages for things which are often queer-adjacent, but not inherently queer themselves (such as neurodivergence, furries, otherkin, etc.), will most likely be deleted. This means pages should have something to do with at least one of the following: Queer history, being non-straight, non-cis, a-spec, polyamorous, intersex, and any directly adjacent topics like queer slang, definitions, forms of queerphobia, etc. etc. Page content which contains mentions of triggering things like violence, discrimination, and harassment, must have proper warnings for said content.
2. Microlabels are wonderful, but for the sake of maintenance and navigation, microlabels which are extremely specific should be included on the page for the more general term they fall under instead of having their own separate page. This largely only applies to microlabels which are microlabels of already-specific terms. For example- aegosexual is technically an asexual microlabel, but is still "big" or "distinct" enough to have its own page, whereas a distinct subset of aegosexual would be more specific and better described via the aegosexual page itself, not its own page.
3. Akin to the previous guideline, separate pages for specific xenogenders are perfectly fine, but xenogenders which are specific subsets of an already-specific xxenogender should not have their own pages but rather be included on the page for the xenogender under which it falls.
4. No pages are to promote bigoted content or ideologies.
5. If you're not sure whether or not a page is too specific for a separate page, air on the side of caution and include it on an existing page!

## New Page Format

1. All pages are **REQUIRED** to have sources. This includes links to coining posts (if there is one, for things like lesbian, bisexual, etc. there obviously aren't), thoroughly sourced references to any and all history/claims discussed in the article, and links to flags/other relevant information about the term. Sources are required in order to verify a page's information and ensure that coiners integrity is maintained and all information is accurate.
2. Every page for a term **MUST** include the term's definition(s) (if there's more than one, list in order of most to least common/used), history of the term (coiner and coining date if applicable, general history/timeline if inapplicable), and any other information necessary to understanding the term.
3. Pages for queer history **MUST** include important concepts, dates, people, places, or whatever is relevant to a full understanding of the person/place/event/etc., as well as references.

## Integrity

1. When making a page for a term, do not change the definition of the term from its original definition. Do not add in any things that weren't originally in the definition, and do not remove parts of the original definition. Even if it seems like a natural addition to you, do not change anything about a definition. It does not matter if the definition is only a small, single sentence; a term doesn't have to be long to be acceptable. This is non-negotiable; if you change someone's term once you'll be given a warning and if it happens a second time, you will be banned.
2. It is absolutely unacceptable to, in any circumstance, plagiarize someone else's term (aka say that you coined it or helped with it while not crediting the actual coiner.) If a term has an "official" coiner, credit that person and that person only. If said coiner has requested to remain anonymous, say that. Never claim to have coined a term if you have not done so. If it's discovered you've done this even just once, you will be banned.
3. If someone has specified that they do not want their terms added to this wiki or any wiki/site in general, respect their wishes.
