    ===Combination Identities===
    ===Combination Identities===
    1) 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.
    We do ''not'' need a page for every possible combination of identities, since there are infinite possible combinations of different genders. Pages for "identity combinations" (eg: [[Demibisexual|demisexual bisexual]], [[Heterosexual Homoromantic|heterosexual homoromantic]]) can only be created if they conform to the following guidelines:
    *The only instance where a page can be made for combination of three identities is if all the identities are thematically connected by having the same prefix (ie. [[Aroace Agender|aroace agender]]), else, pages for identity combinations must include a combination of ''two'' identities.
    *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.
    *Pages for combinations of genders where at least one of the genders is an uncommon or not widely used gender are not allowed. *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]]).


    2) 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).
    Examples of acceptable gender combination pages include [[enboy]], [[Male-Female|male-female]], [[xenogirl]].

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

    4) 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 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).

    The following types of combination terms should be added to the [[Category:Combination Identities | 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).
