The {{boldmono|DEFINE}} verb allows players to access an in-game dictionary to look up words, typically those used in [[alteration]]s, that they may not know.

The in-game dictionary is expanded by player-submitted entries.

<pre{{log2}}>Definitions should be short and easily understood. You need not explain every nuance of a word; a basic definition 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.</pre>

Your definition must be at least two words long.
