### Version 1: Issues
If you know a word that should be defined, but for whatever reason dont feel confident writing the definition yourself (or maybe you disagree with an existing defintion), please [open an issue](https://github.com/tatianamac/selfdefined/issues/new). We can then collectively figure out how to best get this word defined.

An issue might also be appropriate if you are unsure about some nuances of a definition you want to define. By opening an issue you start a conversation, and that is always a good thing!

#### Working on Words
After youve forked the repo, you will need to write a definition. Good times. Hopefully. Always remember that if you are unsure, you can first open an issue or create a PR, include «WIP» in the title («WIP» stands for «work in progress»), and ask for early feedback.
After youve forked the repo, you will need to write a definition. Good times. Hopefully.
Always remember that if you are unsure, you can first open an issue or create a PR with «WIP» in the title («WIP» stands for «work in progress») and ask for early feedback. For example, it might be called *«\[WIP\] Propose definition for spirit animal»*.
- Step 1: Create a file named `word.md` in in the [definitions folder](11ty/definitions/) where we store all definitions.
`word` should be the name of the word you are defining. Not `word`. Except you are defining «word». In this case it should be `word`.
For this tutorial we will take the word «Obsessive Compulsive Disorder», as it allows us to show some of the features. That means we would create the file named `obsessive-compulsive-disorder.md`. As it is already defined, you can have a look at the [finished definition of «Obsessive Compulsive Disorder»](11ty/definitions/obsessive-compulsive-disorder.md).
