Citations pages
Hi. Belated reply! You asked, "Is it generally permissible/recommended to create such a page when listing words at WT:REE?" I don't know if we have specific rules about this. My own practice is to create a Citations page instead of an entry if I want to document the usage of a word/phrase but not to create an entry for some reason (which usually means I think it's a fun or interesting word but feel sure it can't meet our WT:CFI requirements). If it's a very new word that might either catch on or die unused (and we can't know yet), then an entry with the hot word template is a possibility (see e.g. ). Personally I would feel a bit disapproving about Citations pages for single usages/nonce-words, as they seem like a waste of space unlikely to become a real entry; but I suppose they can't hurt.

 * Thanks Equinox. I was thinking mostly of circumstances where I've come across a word that lacks an entry, and am able to list a few uses, but wouldn't necessarily want to venture a definition myself. So I'll try to do that if I find myself in that situation in future. (And thanks also for alerting me to the existence of lemoga – we certainly live in interesting times.)

 * The rfdef template (request for definition) exists too, if you want to add citations within an entry but you don't want to write the definition. Wonderfool tends to abuse this one :D so I would urge you at least to put some notes about what you think it means inside a comment, like , and only use it if you are pretty certain there is really a separate missing sense. Thanks! Equinox ◑ 21:22, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks again – I'll bear that in mind. Arms &#38; Hearts (talk) 23:04, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
