This document provides guidelines for the style and presentation of articles on the LGBTA+ Wiki. Before you start writing an article read the [[
You are responsible for making sure your page meets the standards listed here and in the article guidelines. If there are major sections that are wrong or missing, or the page is incomprehensible then it will be deleted.
Line 17:
==Article Sections and Headings==
Headings should be used to separate information in the article. The guidelines for headings are as follows:
*Use
*Do bold, italicize, underline, or add additional formatting to headings in any way.
*Do ''not'' add a "definition" heading at the top of the page. This is unnecessary.
Line 24:
===History===
*History sections should include who coined the term, when they did so, and on what site, as well as any other interesting information about the origins of the term. Sources are required for this section. When writing a history section for an existing page do ''not'' assume the user who created the page on this wiki created the term.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
Include a pride flag if one exists.
*Do not link to a flag - the image must appear on the page. The main image should appear at the top of the page. If there are many flags/images, a gallery section may be created (above the resource section) for alternate flags and images.
*Do not add flags that are specifically for sub-groups in the article (eg: do not add a transgender lesbian flag on the lesbian page, any flags on that page should primarily be for lesbians, ''not'' for specific sub-groups of lesbians). This includes flags for LGBT+ sub-groups based on ethnicity, nationality, religion, politic affiliation, or ideologies. Any flags or alternate flags added to a page must represent the ''entire'' group that the article is about, or at the least an ''extremely'' large and significant part of the group (see: butch lesbian flag on the [[butch]] page). Some exceptions to this rule exist in ''specific'' special cases.
*All images must be captioned; captions should be written in full sentences and the first word must be capitalized.
Line 49 ⟶ 47:
====Flags (Alternate Text)====
*An alternate text description is optional, but is recommended to increase the accessibility of our wiki to individuals who use screen readers.
*If you wish to add an alternate text description of a flag do so
*When listing stripes colors the colors should always be listed top to bottom on horizontal flags and left to right on vertical flags. Do not use excessively fancy color words unless necessary.
===Etymology===
Line 82 ⟶ 80:
*Add links to the first instance of a different topic mentioned in the article.
*If possible, avoid placing two links directly next to each other such that they look like one link.
*
*See a list of available interwiki sites [[Special:Interwiki|here]], including 'wikipedia', 'plural' and 'alterhuman'.
