===Why was my edit rejected?=== |

Because it doesn't follow our guidelines as per above. We reject many edits per day so we don't have the time to provide a talk page explanation for each one. If you want to discuss the reasoning for rejection, feel free to talk on the staff talk pages or ping us in Discord. |

Data integrity is a must, as well as proof of coining. Wiki articles can be edited by anyone, and false information can unfortunately be added. By providing an external resource, you are securing the coiner's definition, promoting the coiner, and providing a backup of the term. One popular case of data loss is the deletion of the LGBTQIA FANDOM wiki. It was up to the wiki editors to preserve as much information as possible in a very small amount of time, but information was lost nonetheless. Any pages that were created on FANDOM itself are lost forever. We do not want to fall to the same fate. |
