			For pages that explain or list words and expressions relevant to gender (such as the [[:Category:Glossaries of gender and sex terminology\|glossaries]]), words and expressions can be included if they follow these rules:

			# If the word is found in a reputable dictionary for that language, it can be included.
			## Machine translation and other automated algorithms aren't valid sources for a word.
			# If the word appears in a source that is not a dictionary but is still reputable (such as a newspaper or a website, excluding social media and blogs), it can also be included.
			# If the only sources available are social media or similarly weak sources, the word can be included but there must be a note that marks it as having little use or being unverified.
			# Made-up words without external sources can't be included. However, if there is an explanation (based on sources) about how a language creates new gender-neutral words, original examples for the explanation may be provided as long as they are clearly marked as unverified.

			As always, everything needs to have a source with the relevant reference template.

			=== Inclusion of gender identities ===
			In order to keep the wiki accurate to the lived experiences of nonbinary people, identities should only be included in the wiki if they cite from at least two separate external sources showing:

			# Origin (such as a source about how the term was coined, or at least history of the term's use)
			# Evidence that the identity has actually been used as someone's own identity. Acceptable evidence includes presence in at least one Gender Census result, a news article or published nonfiction book describing an actual person using it.

			A design for a pride flag does not count toward origin or evidence of use. A personal blog written by the person who coined the term or claiming to use the term does not count toward evidence of use. A source citation of a web page counts if it is either a live link, or an archived page of a dead link, but dead links by themselves are not acceptable. A source citation of another wiki is not acceptable.

			This policy should be followed for both stand-alone pages and identities included in lists such as [[list of uncommon nonbinary identities]].
