 *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).
-*If you make a page for an identity and the definition is identical to a pre-existing term then your page may be deleted.
 *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+.

+*Do not edit pages in a way that (fundamentally or otherwise) changes the definition of a term unless you are the coiner, or are doing so with permission from the coiner. This includes: adding additional aspects to the term that wasn't intended in the coining, removing information regarding the term's definition, completely changing the definition, etc. This will be taken very seriously.
+*Do not rename pages or change the primary name used in a page, unless: you are the creator of the term, the community has ''widely'' agreed on the new name, the name is incorrect/spelled wrong, or you are otherwise making it compliant with the [[LGBTA Wiki:Style Guide|style guide]].
