This page serves as an FAQ for topics related to the Gender Wiki itself; most of these points are directed at users who are looking to contribute to the wiki, or coin a gender.
- If you think a FAQ should be added to this page, comment it, and we'll consider adding it.
- If you are looking for FAQ's related to gender, than you should check our gender-related FAQ.
For coiners:
How do I get my terms taken off the wiki?
At the moment the only way to get your terms removed from the wiki is through Tumblr or the message wall of a wiki administrator or bureaucrat, who can be found on the administration page. On Tumblr, there are currently three ways to do this:
- You can tag us @gender-fandom-wiki in a post saying that you would like your terms removed. You must tag us, or we will not see the post and your terms will not be removed.
- You can send us an ask saying that you would like your terms removed.
- You can message us saying that you would like your terms removed.
In all of these instances we will remove your terms, no questions asked. If you don’t want any of your terms added in the future, please specify that and we will add you to the list of coiners that do not want their terms on the wiki.
My gender was incorrectly defined on the wiki, how do I fix it?
First of all, we are so sorry this has happened. We do our best to make sure all wiki pages are accurate, but sometimes things slip through without us noticing. You can either correct the page yourself, or you can contact a staff member on one of their message walls. You can also contact us on Tumblr using one of the three methods listed above.
