Hey everyone, as we said before, we made a Discord server so we could coordinate more easily :) here's the link!
Hey everyone, as we said before, we made a Discord server so we could coordinate more easily :) here's the link!
I just wanted to say, thanks so much for these first contributions, @SeptemberSeraph and @PapilionemPolyplex !
Seeing them pop up really made us smile, this is a small beginning but we're getting somewhere! Thanks for the articles, they are really well-written and documented, and thanks September for the help with the Discord Server as well! Thanks to them we will be able to open it very soon so we can discuss together the next steps a bit more in real time ^^

As a bit of an update, we have been "littering" the wiki with small pages that can definitely be enhanced, and we should *really* start working on that Start Page... Any idea of what can go well in there?
Please feel free to add your terms to the wiki, no matter how "niche" they are... Most of the time one term references another and then we realise that one needs to get defined as well... (looking at you, thoughtform-[it isn't done yet!])
Either way, I'll send an update regarding the Discord hopefully very soon! Thanks for helping with this corner of plural linguistics
First of all, thanks for volunteering to help with this big task! There is lots of work to do, and it make take us all a while to learn how fandom works! That's alright :)
Our first objective will be adding most basic words, even if it's just a simple page with a definition - we can make them fancier later! Afterwards we can work on categorising them (example: origin terms, member roles...)
We're also working on setting up a Discord server for managing the wiki, since we're more familiar with the platform and it might make it easier to agree on style, templates, and other stuff in there ^^
We're planning for this wiki to be editable by anyone in the community, that'd mean anyone (who has an account, for moderation purposes) can add their own terms (and remove them at will, although, if you do so, please let us know it's you so we don't roll back a page thinking it's a troll! D:)
For making new definition pages!
please add the term as a title,
Put in a short definition,
[optional] make a longer explanation or expand on the subject, maybe with examples (some words are quite complex!)
Credit the coiner if there's a clear one! Or the place it was created (and link to the source if possible),
[optional] add links to other pages defining the same word, or explaining a similar concept.
[optional] some terms have their own flag! Would be nice to feature it
Don't worry for now about making full-fledged articles; we can agree on style and other things when we have something to begin with: Most users are better at editing and enhancing than creating from scratch.
Thanks so much for reading all of this, and I'll try to keep you updated with what we do. f you're having any trouble editing please let us know ^^
