Uncircumcised is a framing term which is still frequently used in a rather irritating way, describing the intact, normal, natural genitals of a human individual. Like all words that begin with "un", the word has a negative, abnormal sound. Its use makes one think that the normal state would be "circumcised" which in fact is not the case. Therefore, the IntactiWiki tries to avoid this term as much as possible.
Restoration
There's a context where the term uncircumcised might be used properly: If a circumcised individual wants to undo their circumcision, they may speak of uncircumcision in a way that indicates that they undergo some procedure of restoration.
