No. Both definitions are correct. Don't tell people to recheck without first doing so yourself.

Literally false.
It is fine if you disagree with Marriam Webster, but maybe chill a bit with your attitude.
You don't get to decide.
>You might want to recheck the definition of normative
Funny you should say that. Merriam-Webster:
1: of, relating to, or determining norms or standards 2: conforming to or based on norms 3: prescribing (see prescribe sense 1) norms
You might want to recheck the definition of normative. Yours is a non-standard usage and you will be misunderstood if you continue to use it that way.
Norm is is, Normative is ought.
> Normative: pertaining to giving directives or rules
> Synonyms: prescriptive
