 ==General Rules==
-*You do not have to ask to make a page.
-*Terms cannot be coined via the creation of an article on this wiki. You may, however, coin a term in the discussions or on someone’s message wall, and add a link to said coining on the resources/references.
-* Do not directly copy/paste the definition from somewhere else without checking if the grammar is correct and that it follows our style guide (eg: making sure it's in third person).
 *Articles cannot promote hate speech. This includes anything that promotes TERF, truscum, or exclusionist ideology or anything that implies that these ideologies are legitimate. Making such articles can result in an indefinite ban.
 *No pages that imply paraphilic disorders are LGBTQ+.
-*Absolutely no "joke pages" or "satire pages." These pages will be treated with the same severity as if it were serious, regardless of your intentions.
 *Do not make a page to promote discord servers, social media accounts, or other websites.
+*Vandalism of pages is not allowed in any form.
+*Absolutely no "joke pages/edits" or "satire pages/edits". These pages/edits will be treated with the same severity as if it were serious, regardless of your intentions.
+*You do not have to ask to make a page; you do not have to personally identify with a term to make a page for it (unless it's exclusive to a group you're not part of).
+*Terms cannot be coined via the creation of an article on this wiki. You may, however, coin a term in the discussions or on someone’s message wall, and add a link to said coining on the resources/references.
 *No "identities" that were created with the purpose of passive-aggressively complaining about another identity. No "identities" that were created to give an excuse to hate on other identities.
+* Do not directly copy/paste the definition of a term from somewhere else without checking if the grammar is correct and that it follows our style guide (eg: making sure it's in third person).
-*Do not coin identities exclusive to minority groups you don't belong to/have no experience of. Inversely, do not coin terms that explicitly exclude people of minority groups you don't belong to (and are not on the basis of gender or sexuality). Additionally, do not make pages for exclusive identities which are exclusive to groups of which you're not part.
-===Vandalism===
-Vandalism of pages is not allowed in any form.
-* Absolutely no "joke edits" or "satire edits". These will be treated with the same severity as if it were serious, regardless of your intentions.
-* Do not remove major amounts of information or content that you did not write.
-* Only remove things that go against the the [[LGBTA Wiki:Style Guide|style guide]]. Even if information is outdated, it is still relevant and should be put in the history section. If you feel like an article in its current form is inaccurate, contact a moderator before making major changes.
-* Do not add random "comments" on a page; instead, please utilise the page's comments section (eg: do not add, "wow, I can edit this", or "this is valid").
 ===Relevance===

 *Pages for ficto- orientations can only be created if they do not specify any particular individual(s) that one is attracted to. One may make a page for the exclusive/almost exclusive attraction to characters from [genre of media], (eg: anime characters), but one may not make a page for exclusive/almost exclusive attraction to characters from any given piece of media (eg: attraction to characters from [insert show] or [insert game]).
 Though one's gender can certainly be related to/influenced by real-life individuals, and one may only experience attracted to a specific individual/group of individuals, pages for these identities may not be created, as this would be inappropriate and disrespectful to said individual(s).
+===Exclusive Identities===
+*Do not coin identities exclusive to minority groups you don't belong to/have no experience of.
+*Do not make pages for exclusive identities which are exclusive to groups you're not part of.
+*Do not coin terms that explicitly exclude people of minority groups you don't belong to (and are not on the basis of gender or sexuality).
+*Do not edit pages that are exclusive to groups you're not part of (aside from minor grammatical edits/edits to make the page conform to the style guide).

 *You do not need to ask to edit a page; you do not need to have created a page to edit it; and you do not need to personally identify with a term to edit its page (as long as the term is not exclusive to a group you are not part of and you are making edits in accordance with the guidelines).
 *Do not repeatedly remake a page that has been deleted without consulting moderators to know why it was deleted.
-* Do not participate in "edit warring"- repeatedly creating/adding/changing content that is unnecessary, unproductive, or goes against the [[LGBTA Wiki:Style Guide|style guide]] or article guidelines.
