General Rules:
1. No Discrimination of Any Kind: Discrimination, hate speech, or promotion of prejudice based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic is strictly prohibited. The Dictionary Wiki is an inclusive space for all.
2. Respectful Behavior: Treat all contributors with respect. Harassment, offensive language, or targeted abuse will not be tolerated.
3. Accurate and Reliable Content: Ensure all information is factual, well-researched, and clearly presented. Avoid making speculative or unsupported claims.
4. Neutral Point of View: Articles must be unbiased and objective. Avoid inserting personal opinions or slanted perspectives.
5. Constructive Contributions: Edits and additions should improve the wiki’s quality. Vandalism, trolling, or intentionally unhelpful edits are not allowed.
6. Proper Formatting: Adhere to established formatting rules for consistency across all entries.
7. No Advertising or Promotion: Articles must not promote personal, commercial, political, or ideological agendas.
8. Follow Content Guidelines: Contributors must comply with all topic-specific rules and restrictions outlined by The Dictionary Wiki.
Specific Rules for The Dictionary Wiki:
• Every article must contain these four sections:
1. Definition of the word.
2. Origin of the word.
3. Usage of the word.
4. Related Words or Synonyms.
• Each section must have at least one detailed paragraph. Shallow or overly brief entries are not acceptable.
• Do not include a conclusion section.
• Begin each article with a general opening statement about the word (this does not count as a section).
• Never start the article with “==[word]==” or anything similar.
• The opening must be descriptive and flow naturally into the structured sections.
• Use section titles formatted like this: ==[Title]==. For example: ==Definition of the word==. There must be a space between it and the text below it.
• Do not use bullet points or numbered lists in the main body of the article.
• Categories must be placed at the end of the article. And they must have four square brackets with 2 being place at the front of the category and with 2 being placed at the end of the category. You have to do this for each individual category.
Include the following categories:
1. Category:Words
2. Category:[Letter]-starting words (Replace “[Letter]” with the word’s first letter, capitalized.)
3. Category:[Part of Speech]
4. If the word is a swear word, also include this category: Category:Swear word.
• If the word is a number, write it in word form (e.g., “1” becomes “one”).
• Use the category “Numeral” for basic numbers and “Ordinal Numeral” for numbers like “16th” or “15th.”
• Numbers can belong to multiple parts of speech (e.g., noun, adjective). Include all relevant categories.
• Articles must be thorough, detailed, and provide depth. Shallow content or incomplete sections are not permitted.
• Synonyms and usage examples must add value to the article without redundancy.
