Introduction
For ease of access, Pluralpedia promotes some standard formatting, crediting, and grammatical conventions. Because this is a public-access project, nothing will be perfect, but adherence to this guide is greatly appreciated!
Templates
For Terms
See TEMPLATE LINK for entering new terminology into the wiki.
For Categories
See TEMPLATE LINK for creating new categories.
Word Choice
Pronouns
Personal pronouns (you, I, we, us, my) are not recommended. This is an objective, abstract collection of terminology. Sometimes these are unavoidable, though.
Referring to System Members
To keep this wiki inclusive, the term "alter" and "part" are not to be used when describing a member of a system when not on specific pages. "Headmate" is the preferred way to refer to them.
Medical vs. Community Terminology
This project is meant to encompass all plurality-related definitions and descriptors. As such, both medical (alter and specific diagnoses) and community-created (mesosian, for example) labels will be listed and supported.
Tone
All good-faith identifiers must be treated with respect. Even if an individual disagrees with the term, editors here are simply messengers, not judges. Please do not put personal influence into definitions.
