▲==Welcome to the LGBTA Wiki==
▲The LGBTA+ Wiki is meant to be a resource for members of the LGBTA+ community, individuals who are questioning, or anyone who's curious.

▲[[LGBTA+|LGBTA]] stands for [[lesbian]], [[gay]], [[bisexual]], [[transgender]], and [[asexual]]/[[aromantic]]/[[agender]]. It's an adaptation of the initialism LGBT, which originated in the 1990s. It may be used to refer to anyone who is non-[[Straight|heterosexual]], non-[[heteroromantic]], and/or non-[[cisgender]]. Some popular variants include LGBTQ, LGBTIA, LGBTQA, and LGBTIAQ. The Q stands for [[questioning]]/[[queer]], and the I stands for [[intersex]]. Others include LGBT+ or LGBTA+, which is used to encompass the full spectrums of sexuality and gender.

== Helping Out ==
You can help out by creating an article for an identity that doesn't have a page. Before you make a new article, it's recommended that you read the [[LGBTQIA+ Wiki:
* Improper formatting or grammar
* No resources backing up the provided information
If your edit was rejected and does not match the above, feel free to [[User talk:Jeb CC|ask a moderator]].
If you want to help out but don't know where to start...
For those who are looking to coin a term, you can read [[User blog:Chaoticcylinder/Creating A Term Advice|this]]. For those who are looking to create a flag, you can read [[User blog:Chaoticcylinder/Creating a Flag Advice|this]].▼
* Articles in [[:Category:Identities With unarchived resources|this category]] need their resources to be archived according to the [[Template:Archive|archival template]].
* Articles in [[:Category:Pages Without Resources|this category]] do not have resources. If you find some, you are encouraged to add them!
* There's a large ongoing housekeeping project to review ALL wiki pages, more information on the Discord server.
