*Disagreeing with a stipulative definition is incorrect*

The Wikipedia page does not say that. It only says that a stipulative
definition itself cannot be correct.

If X cannot be incorrect then disagreeing that X is correct is
incorrect.

Stipulative definitions can also not be correct. Correctness is simply
out of scope. It can be rejected though. Is your best defense really
"it has no truth value"?

 Except that you stipulative definition are a violation of the rule of the system you are trying to stipulate them.
 

A stipulative definition is a type of definition in which a new or currently existing term is given a new specific meaning for the purposes of argument or discussion in a given context. When the term already exists, this definition may, but does not necessarily, contradict the dictionary (lexical) definition of the term. Because of this, a
stipulative definition cannot be "correct" or "incorrect"; it can only differ from other definitions, but it can be useful for its intended purpose.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stipulative_definition
stipulative definition cannot be "correct" or "incorrect";
stipulative definition cannot be "correct" or "incorrect";
stipulative definition cannot be "correct" or "incorrect";
stipulative definition cannot be "correct" or "incorrect";
Thus saying that it is incorrect is incorrect.
