:::{{ping|NeoMahler}} I think the warning at the top is the best way of marking information from tumblr as less reliable to readers, and people can generally figure out for themselves whether that blog is trustworthy. Figuring out criteria sounds difficult to me, especially since sometimes people coin a word they want to use and otherwise don't post a lot of gender stuff. I think the continuation of the abusefilter while still allowing users to take the action is a good idea, but maybe instead of saying tumblr is not allowed, saying tumblr is only allowed if no other sources are available. --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 15:09, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Kaiforest}} I have updated the Abuse Filter warning, you can see it in [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-tumblr]]. I have also created [[Template:Tumblr links]] and added it to [[Gender neutral titles]] and [[Ambonec]] (I have just restored this page, which was deleted because of that). Feel free to make any suggestion. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 17:22, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

This is kinda late, I know, but on the old nonbinary.org wiki there was a rule that in order to be on a mainspace page a gender or pronoun or whatever had to have evidence that more than a small handful of people use the word. This kept lists and reference sections useful and readable and processable. So a lot of gender words got moved to talk pages pending evidence from more than a Tumblr post that got a few notes, because that wasn't considered enough evidence of the term being in use - and it meant that all the historical and international genders that had been properly documented were more visible, too.
I would be in favour of this rule being introduced here, too. --'''[[User:Cassolotl|<span style="color:#008000">Cassolotl</span>]]''' ''<small>([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) <span style="color:#808080">pronouns: they/them</span></small>'' 12:38, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
