==Terms Systems==

===Crediting and Coiner Consent===

*Term systems cannot include terms that the creator of the system didn't also coin themselves, unless they have received explicit permission from the coiner of the term (evidence of which must be uploaded to a gallery at the bottom of the page or linked as a resource). This applies even if said terms would technically "fit" into the system by definition. This also applies to adding other coiners' term systems as "sub-systems" without consent, and anything similar.

===Page Separation===

*Terms in a system must be listed on the main system page, and any pages for terms within a system should mention and link the main system page.

*As long as all pages contain proper resourcing, history sections and crediting, and the terms are all unique, the creator of a system and its terms can decide whether to create separate pages for each term in their system, regardless of the number of terms in the system or how much information is contained in the terms' definitions (as long as it's more than "[term] is a term in the [term system]").

*If on a separated page, further variations or subsets of a term in a system (eg, terms where the definition is just that it is a -flux, -girl, -demi, etc, version of the term) should ideally be kept on the same page as said term rather than separated onto another page, unless said variations/subsets contain a significant amount of different/unique information, in which case they may be separated. This is, however, largely up to the discretion of the coiner.

==Other Coiners' Systems==

*One may not coin terms or create "sub-systems" and add them under other coiners' term systems without consent, unless there are no concerns over coiners having terms added to their systems without permission, such as if a coiner has publicly stated that their terms may be used in this way (in which case one must provide a reference confirming as such).

*If a term is added to a system without explicit coiner consent, terms should still "make sense" within, and be appropriate additions to, that system.
