Feel free to contribute to this page as you would a mainspace page. |
SmashWiki is not censored, but certain expressions and phrases should still be avoided, as they may introduce bias to an article or a viewpoint, or cause information to become unclear or inarticulate. This addendum to our manual of style is intended to help users to avoid inadvertently introducing bias to a page through improper word choice.
Note that words that are not featured on this page may still be problematic in certain contexts; similarly, some words on this page may still be usable if the context calls for it.
Words that may introduce bias
Puffery
Contentious labels
Unsupported attributions
Expressions of doubt
Editorializing
Synonyms for said
Expressions that lack precision
Euphemisms
Clichés and idioms
Relative time references
Unspecified places or events
Neologisms and new compounds
Vulgarities, obscenities, and profanities
SmashWiki is not censored, and as a result, a number of words considered rude, offensive, or crude may be used in the mainspace, such as in the terms Rapetent, Motherfucking Leaker or Death by Rape. Outside of direct contexts, however, offensive language should be avoided when possible, unless removing such vulgarities causes information to become less relevant or accurate.
