==Use of the phrasing "beginner" and "basic"==
  __~~ _- ~~ -[[Special:Contributions/62.171.198.12|62.171.198.12]]-_/\O_~~ ~~__~~  _-~_ __
+
It might be best to move away from use of the word "beginner", as it's potentially more likely to be perceived as derogatory. "Basic" is the preferred term. If there are suggestions for other wording, please add them to this section.
