- DEFINE SUGGEST GUIDELINES
This will display the following guidelines:
Definitions should be short and easily understood. You need not explain every nuance of a word; a basic defintion is enough. Words in definitions that are also in the dictionary may be linked to by surrounding them with _underscores_.
Under no circumstances should you submit definitions that are taken from a published dictionary.
Despite the temptation, please refrain from submitting definitions for character or GM names, real world concepts, or anything else inappropriate.
