It sounds a bit silly to my ears, but maybe that's just because I hate neologisms. It certainly says what I'm trying to say. It's more accurate than 'child-attracted adult' because there's a lot of dispute over what constitutes a child, and though it does leave teenage boylovers out of the picture, one could always use the term 'minor-attracted person' if one wanted to include them."

			A '''paraphilia''' is a non-normative attraction. It is most commonly understood as an attraction towards actions other than the ones implied by intimacy with a partner, body parts other than sexual characteristics, or someone/something that is not an adult consenting human.

			This is an umbrella term that unites many types of attractions. Attractions of the map spectrum are paraphilias.

This is the '''style guide''' for pages on this wiki. It describes the stylistic standard for articles.

== Structure ==
In the beginning of each article, highlight the key concept you are writing about in bold and provide a brief description.
== Capitalization of words ==
=== Titles and subtitles ===
Only the first word is capitalized, unless the title includes words that are typically capitalized in everyday speech.

Examples:
* [[Online map communities]]
* [[Paraphilia#Paraphilias and paraphilic disorders | Paraphilias and paraphiliac disorders]]
* ''but'' [[Map Support Club]]
* ''but'' [[Mapmisia#Day of Remembrance and Solidarity | Day of Remembrance and Solidarity]]

=== Abbreviations ===
Most abbreviations are capitalized. Exceptions are made for the following: '''map''', '''nomap''', '''aam''', '''yap''', '''myap''', due to their common usage as whole identities rather than shortenings.

== Punctuation ==
=== Quotation marks ===
This wiki uses double quotation marks for the main quote and singular quotation marks for a quote within the main quote.

Example:

* H.E. Peterson recalls that she has brought it up on a pedophile forum BoyChat on October 19, 1998: "So what do you think of the term 'minor-attracted adults'?
