Page Format
The format of a term page is

Definition
Note: Definitions should only be added by users with Administrator status. If you don't have admin status but want to suggest a definition, please create a "stub" on the main page (see below) and use the Discussion page for the term suggested definition. See Help:Comments for help on the Discussion page.
The definition can be added using a Draft Definition Template
{{Def|Term goes here|Definition goes here}}
