*No pages for specific subcategories of objectum as there is infinitely many of these identities and that is outside the scope of this wiki. We only allow pages for attractions to humans, humanoids, representations of humans/humanoids, or beings of human-like intelligence.

===Counterparts to/variations of existing terms===

#Pages for counterparts to/variations of existing terms (eg: -romantic, -tertiary, -girl, -flux, demi- variations/counterparts) will be held to the same standards in terms of their history sections and resources as any other identity. Counterparts and variations may not be coined via the creation of an article (as of November 10th 2021). Pages should not be created for counterparts to terms where the "original" term or it's counterpart is exclusive to a group that the creator is not part of.

#It must be clear which term the counterpart/variation is based on.

#Credit must be provided wherever appropriate. All coiners involved in creating identities must be credited. The coiner - if there is one - of the term that the variation/counterpart is based on should also be credited.

#It will be at the discretion of a given coiner whether to separate variations/counterparts onto separate pages or not, though counterparts should ideally be mentioned in the body of a term's article.

#One must have created the term that the counterpart/variation is based on and/or have received explicit permission from the coiner(s) of any terms that one did not coin oneself to create a variation/counterpart identity using said term (proof of permission must be provided via screenshots uploaded to a gallery or an archived link provided as a resource).

The only exceptions to this are cases where there is no concern over coiners having their terms used without permission:

*If the terms are exceptionally well-known, old and/or common and there are no concerns over a coiner having their terms used without permission (eg: lesbian, non-binary, androgyne, neutrois, agender, greygender, demigirl, m-spec, bi, demiromantic, omnisexual, xenogender).

*If a coiner has publicly stated that their terms may be used in this way (in which case one must provide a reference confirming as such).

===Combination Identities===

#Pages for combination identities will be held to the same standards in terms of their history sections and resources as any other identity. Combination identities may not be coined via the creation of an article (as of November 10th 2021). Pages should not be created for combination identities where one or more of the terms being combined are exclusive to a group that the creator is not part of.

#Pages for combinations of two terms may be created if significant or unique information is provided (i.e: the page cannot simply state that [combination term] is when one identifies with both [term 1] and [term 2]). It must be clear which terms are being combined. Pages for three terms may be created if the three identities are thematically connected due to having the same prefix (eg: aroace agender).

#Credit must be provided wherever appropriate. All coiners involved in creating identities being combined must be credited. The coiner - if there is one - of the combination term should also be credited.

#One must have created both/all three terms being combined and/or have received explicit permission from the coiner(s) of any terms that one did not coin oneself to create a combination identity using said terms (proof of permission must be provided via screenshots uploaded to a gallery or an archived link provided as a resource).

The following types of combination terms should be added to the Combination Identities category:

*Pages for [[varioriented]] identities ([[Bi-Lesbian|bisexual lesbian]], [[Heterosexual Homoromantic|heterosexual homoromantic]], [[Homosexual Aromantic|homosexual aromantic]], etc).

*Pages for combinations of an a-spec identity and another orientation ([[demibisexual]], [[demipansexual]], etc).

*Pages for combinations of two a-spec identities ([[demigreysexual]], etc).

*Pages for a combination of a gender and an orientation ([[Non-Binary Lesbian|non-binary lesbian]], [[Non-Binary Achillean|non-binary achillean]], etc).

*Pages for a pronoun variant of a given identity ([[He/Him Lesbian|he/him lesbian]], [[Neopronoun Gay|neopronoun gay]], etc).

*Pages for a combination of two genders that are intended to be combination identities ([[Agender Woman|agender woman]], [[Genderqueer Male|genderqueer male]], etc; demi-, -flux, -fluid, -fem, etc variations of identities do not count for this).
