Pluralpedia is a community project to create a dictionary of plural terms. Among its goals are to be neutral in tone, and to be inclusive to as many people as possible.

Pluralpedia was founded on December 30th, 2020, and the site went live on December 31st, 2020. The name was chosen based on a poll conducted in multiple Discord servers. The initial organization of the project was done via the Discord server. The website was setup by Tiffany and Aurora.

When it first launched, the website used MediaWiki 1.35, PostgreSQL, NGINX, and PHP 7, running on an Arch Linux based VPS.

Principles

1. Inclusivity

Pluralpedia is inclusive to all, which means that exclusionary behavior will not be tolerated. All systems are valid and should be able to find labels they can relate to on this wiki.

2. Neutrality

Pluralpedia does not make any value judgements. No specific way of being plural is the right way or the only way.

3. Respecting the Community

Many of the terms used in plural communities were coined by specific people, and it's our duty to credit them when possible. Some terms might also be considered "closed" by their creators, and do not wish them to be shared widely, and we will respect that.

4. Community Project

Pluralpedia is a project built on collaboration. There is no owner, leader, or other hierarchy. Those who do hold powers, like those who run the website or have the power to delete pages, block users, etc. are beholden to the rest of the community. Those who abuse their privileges will have their powers taken away.
