Many concepts and terms in kink (such as ''master'', ''slave'', ''race play'', ''adult baby'', ''blackmail, female submission'', etc.) may evoke culturally specific connotations that individuals may find offensive. To maintain accuracy and clarity, you should not attempt to redefine, censor or discourage certain kind of language if it's otherwise descriptive and in common use. | Many concepts and terms in kink (such as ''master'', ''slave'', ''race play'', ''adult baby'', ''blackmail, female submission'', etc.) may evoke culturally specific connotations that individuals may find offensive.

=== | === Visual media === | ||
Use images to illustrate concepts that are difficult to describe with just text, such as human anatomy. Avoid using only images to convey text; visual media should supplement what is written in the article. Media files such as GIFs and videos can be considered for topics that progress over time, such as a rope tying sequence. Include a caption that describes what the visual media is for. | |||
=== Bulleted and numbered lists === | |||
Use bulleted lists to organize equally-important concepts where order does not matter. | |||
Use numbered lists to identify an order of steps. | |||
