 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.

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 a reference confirming as such should be present on the main page for the term system).

-*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.

 ===Recoining===
-*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 "coin" terms with the same name as a term that has already been coined, regardless of whether said term has a page on the wiki. This especially applies to terms being "coined" after November 10th, 2021, and it applies regardless of where the term was "coined". For example, do not make a page for a term someone coined on Tumblr two days ago, if a term by that same name was actually originally coined six months ago.

-*Do not make a page for an identity where the definition is identical to that of a pre-existing term, unless there is a significant reason for doing so.
+#Do not make a page for an identity where the definition is identical to that of a pre-existing term, unless there is a significant reason for doing so.
-*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]].

-*You may add alternate names for terms, however, this should only be done with coiner consent if possible, and if a coiner does not want alternate names created for their terms, this should be respected.

 ===Archiving Recoinings And Independent Coinings===
-*Any coiner should reserve the right to have recoined information/secondary definitions removed from their terms' pages.

-*To emphasize, alternate definitions and recoinings should never be created intentionally, and will not be accepted in any form if added/coined after November 10th, 2021 - any information that wasn't present at the original coining should only be recorded if necessary for the sake of archiving and preserving a term's history and/or at the request of a term's coiner.

-*For terms that were independently coined by multiple users before November 10th, 2021, it may be possible to include said multiple definitions on a page, however, the different definitions must be clearly separated and individually credited, rather than combined in any way.

-*A term should be archived with its original intended definition, aside from in exceptional circumstances where additional information is very significant, in which case information added via recoinings may potentially be included on a page. However, there must be a clear distinction made between the original definition and any recoined information, and this should only ever be included if it is significant to the evolution of/the widely-accepted understanding of a term.

-*The first/original coining of a term should always be listed first in an article if possible, unless another definition is widely accepted as the definition of the term, or the definition has evolved over time to a point where it would make much more sense to list it as the first definition on the page (though this should be avoided except in exceptional circumstances), in which case the original definition should still be clearly stated and credited on the page as the original coining).
