===Flag===
*Include a pride flag if one exists.
Include a pride flag if one exists. Do not link to a flag, the image must appear on the page. High quality PNGs are preferred. All images must be captioned. Captions should be written in full sentences and ''must'' be capitalized. The main image should appear at the top of the page. Image must sized such that their longest side is either be 180 pixels (the default for uploaded images) or 220 pixels, no other sizes are allowed except in special cases.▼
*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.
====Flag (Written Section)====
*A written flag section should include who designed the flag, when, and color meanings if any exist. Sources are '''required''' for this section. This information should ''not'' be in the image's caption. Do ''not'' include precise geometric descriptions of the flag. Describing the layout of the flag should only be done when said layout is relevant to the meaning.
*If you must distinguish between two flags do so using the creator's names, the primary colors used, the number of stripes, and/or other identifiable characteristics of the flag. ''Never'' refer to flags as "the flag at the top of the page" or "the flag shown on the right" or make any other reference to the flag's placement on the page.▼
*If you reference a flag in the text you MUST include a picture of the flag. Do not create a flag section is there is no image in the article. *Do not create a flag section just to say "there is no flag". If there is no flag then do not say anything about it at all.▼

*Do not assume that no flag exists just because one doesn't appear on the page. Google searching "[insert identity] flag" is the absolute bare minimum amount of research. When writing a flag section for an existing page do ''not'' assume that the person who uploaded the flag to the wiki is the creator of the flag.▼
*If the flag section is short you can combine it with the history section, particularly if the term and flag were created on the same day.▼

====Flags (Alternate Text)====
*An alternate text description is optional and might be impractical for particularly complex flags.
*If you wish to add an alternate text description of a flag do so in an object manner, and do so as quickly and concisely as possible. Do not go into exact detailed/geometric descriptions of flags unless the flag has particularly unusual shapes that cannot be described any other way. ▼
*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. ▼

The following are some examples, of how some flags would be described:
