    ==Rules==
    * Articles must follow the [[LGBTA Wiki:Community Guidelines|community guidelines]].
    * Terms cannot be coined via the creation of an article hereon this wiki. You may, however, coin a term in the discussions or on someone’s message wall, but be sure toand add a link to said coining on the resources/references.
    * Articles cannot promote hate speech. This includes anything that promotes TERF, truscum, or exclusionist ideology or anything that implies that these ideologies are legitimate. Making such articles can result in an indefinite ban.
    * No pages that imply paraphilic disorders are LGBTQ+.
    Line 30:
    * No pages specifically for a flag, alternate flag, or symbol.
    * No pages that are [specific character]gender or [specific song]gender, with the definition "a connection to [character]" or "a connection to [song]." Unless the definition is more complex than that, the page will be deleted.
    * We do ''not'' need a page for every possible combination of identities. Pages for "identity combinations" (ie. [[Demibisexual|demisexual bisexual]], [[Heterosexual Homoromantic|heterosexual homoromantic]], etc) are only allowed if they are 1) A combinations of ''two'' identities. We do not allow pages for combinations of three or more identities, unless all the identities are thematically connected by having the same prefix (ie. [[Aroace Agender|aroace agender]]). And 2) They must be exceptionally well known, significant, unique, use exceptionally common identities, or otherwise provide significant new information that cannot be put on any of the related pages. Pronoun variations ([[They/Them Lesbian|they/them lesbian]], etc) count for this.
    * We do ''not'' need a page for every possible demigender, -flux gender, or -girl, -boy, -nonbinary, etc, variation of a gender. These pages are redundant and there are infinitely many of these variations. Therefore, pages for specific demigenders, -flux genders, and other variations of genders are only allowed if they are exceptionally well known, significant, unique, or otherwise if ''significant'' new information is provided that cannot be put on any related pages.
    * Similarly, no pages for combinations of genders where at least one of the genders is an uncommon or not widely used gender. There are infinite possible combinations of different genders, so pages for combination gender identities should not be made unless the genders involved in the combination are widely known and used, such as [[Man|male]], [[Woman|female]], [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], [[agender]], [[neutrois]], and general [[Xenine|xeninity]] (but NOT specific [[Xenogender|xenogenders]]). Examples of acceptable gender combination pages include [[enboy]], [[Male-Female|male-female]], [[xenogirl]].
    * We do ''not'' need a page for every possible romantic orientation. ''Any'' sexual orientation can have a romantic counterpart, so these pages are redundant. Pages for non-aro-spec romantic orientations should only be made if the identity is exceptionally well known, significant, unique, or if significant new information is provided that cannot be put on the -sexual version of the identity.
    * Similarly, we do ''not'' need a page for every possible specific tertiary orientation. Pages for specific tertiary orientations should only be made if the identity is exceptionally well known, significant, unique, uses an exceptionally common prefix, or if the page otherwise provides significant new information that cannot be put on any related pages.
    * Do not add redirect pages for no reason. Only add redirect pages if 1) Multiple names for the term are ''commonly'' used. (Do not make redirect pages for uncommon alternate names.) Or 2) Many links already exist to this page and it would be hard to change all of them to the main page.
     
    ===Combination Identities===
    We do ''not'' need a page for every possible combination of identities. Pages for "identity combinations" (ie. [[Demibisexual|demisexual bisexual]], [[Heterosexual Homoromantic|heterosexual homoromantic]], etc) are only allowed if they both of the following are true:
    #It is a combination of ''two'' identities. We do not allow pages for combinations of three or more identities, unless all the identities are thematically connected by having the same prefix (ie. [[Aroace Agender|aroace agender]]).
    #The term is exceptionally well known, significant, unique, uses exceptionally common identities, or otherwise provides significant new information that cannot be put on any of the related pages. Pronoun variations ([[They/Them Lesbian|they/them lesbian]], etc) count for this.
    * Similarly, no pages for combinations of genders where at least one of the genders is an uncommon or not widely used gender. There are infinite possible combinations of different genders, so pages for combination gender identities should not be made unless the genders involved in the combination are widely known and used, such as [[Man|male]], [[Woman|female]], [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], [[agender]], [[neutrois]], and general [[Xenine|xeninity]] (but NOT specific [[Xenogender|xenogenders]]). Examples of acceptable gender combination pages include [[enboy]], [[Male-Female|male-female]], [[xenogirl]].
