=== Inclusion of neologisms === | |||
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 only 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. | |||
