Template

The Template Page is where you can see how to format pages. The title of the term(s) in question should be put in bold. In this section, you define what the term means, alongside any brief caveats and distinguishing features from other labels. It may be as long or as short as you need it to be. Just be accurate and thorough!

DO NOT put images on the side of this section, such as flags; we're getting to where those go!

Terminology
This is where you may discuss language used alongside this term. For instance, if you have the otherkin page, this is where you could put language like "kinshift." This is also where you may put subterms; using otherkin as an example again, you could put terms like fictionkin here. This may be done in a regular paragraph format, or as a list.

Subterms:


 * For instance, you can put subterms like this in a list.
 * If there is an individual page for this subterm, link it on the term!
 * If you don't want to do a list, feel free to write it out normally in a paragraph, briefly describing what it is and linking it if necessary.
 * Put the subterm's name in bold!

History
If a term has more than three paragraphs of history compiled on it (for instance, for highly historical terms with a lot of background) or you deem it necessary, you may have a history section here. Not every page will have a history page- however, if you are planning to add onto an existing term with more history and resources, you may deem it necessary to move historical discussion to a history section.

Flags and Symbols
This is where you put any flags and symbols associated with the term! Add credit!! You should add these as a gallery, not as individual images. This will require you to first upload the images on its respective page. If the flag(s) or symbols have known meanings, you can put it on the captions or below the gallery.

Resources
You should cite what you write on this wiki; if you get information from another site, highlight the borrowed section and use the cite tool to put the source in. When you make this section (resources), you should insert a references list here (can be found under "insert."

Tagging categories
Tagging your pages with categories is important. It is also a WIP!

If this part confuses you or you don't know how to do it, leave it alone and I'll add the categories myself. No worries!

All pages that refer to a general label or identity should be tagged with General. The only pages that should not be tagged with general are subterms and pages not referring to an identity (ex: a "kin-shift" page should not be tagged with General, as kin-shift is not an identity.)

All umbrella terms (should be tagged with Umbrella Term, and should also be tagged with it's own name. (Ex: tag otherkin as otherkin.)

Subterms should be tagged with the umbrella term it is a part of (ex: Amistelic should be tagged as Constelic, because it is a constelic subterm.) Do NOT tag subterms with General.

All plural specific terms (or terms that may be related to plurality, such as soulbond) should be tagged with Plural.

Terms and sections that are not allowed
Offensive and derogatory labels should not be uploaded on this wiki. This includes terms that would fall under cultural appropriation (see the rules), terms that are loosely used as an insult (example: "kin-for-fun"), and otherwise should not have their own pages on this wiki. You may have your own opinions on various discussions in the community; there is nothing wrong with that, but it is not for this wiki!
