Etymology sections are optional. Only include this information if the etymology of the term is known and is interesting. Do ''not'' point out things that are exceptionally obvious. (eg: Do not point out that "cat-" in catgender means it's related to cats, and "-gender" means it's a gender). |

===Resources=== |
|||
All articles should have acceptable references confirming the information within them, and pages created as of November 10th 2021 are required to have a properly-referenced history section. |
|||
*Acceptable resources: a, preferably archived, link to the original coining of the term/flag (Tumblr post, anonymous Tumblr ask, Twitter post, discussions post, etc); a screenshot of a term/flag being coined/created (only in circumstances where direct links cannot be provided, eg: terms coined via Discord). |
|||
*Unacceptable resources: the article creation itself (terms cannot be coined via the creation of articles on the LGBTA wiki); links to articles about a term from another wiki/posts talking about a term, where it is unclear if the term was actually coined via said posts/articles. |
