 ## Conventions
 To establish uniformity accross the project, please adhere to these conventions.
 - Use the project's official name, not the repository name. Repository names often use lowercase and place dashes in place of spaces. Fallback to **Title Casing** if capitalization is not clear. 
-- Platform tags are listed in the following order: ```Desktop OS (Order: Windows, MacOS, Linux)```, ```Mobile (Order: Android, IOS)```, ```CLI```, ```SelfHost```, ```Web```, ```Plugin```
 - For projects with multiple repositories (EX: one for IOS, Windows, etc) link the repository with the most stars.
-- The description should be the repository description. If there are multiple repositories, no description, or an inadequate one, fall back to the organization, their official website, or the repo's README. **Do not write your own description, only use text from official sources of the project, and do not modify (EX: shorten) their description.** The ONLY change you can make is replacing ```|``` with ```-``` to prevent interference with GFM tables. If you are not using the GitHub repo description, put the ```custom-description``` flag in the flags array so our description updator script does not override it. 
+- Do not put in a description unless the repo description is inadequate or non-existent, in which case fall back to the organization, their website, or the repo's README. **Do not write your own description, only use text from official sources of the project, and do not modify (EX: shorten) their description.** If you use a custom description make sure to put in the `custom-description` flag so that the stat updator script doesn't overide it. 
 - For tags, do not use the emoji. Go to [tags.json](source/data/tags.json) and find the id for the tag. Our script will generate it's corresponding emoji when it builds the README.
