Before you make a new article, it's recommended that you read the [[LGBTA+ Wiki:~~Style~~Creating ~~Guide~~and Editing Pages\|~~style~~Creating ~~guide~~and Editing]]~~, the [[LGBTA+ Wiki:Article Guidelines\|article~~ guide]]. If you want to help out but don't know where to start, you can ~~also~~ help by adding relevant information to one of our [[:Category:Article stubs\|stub articles]]. Information like who coined the term, when it was coined, who created the flag and when, as well as more information about the identity itself is always appreciated. We also always have various housekeeping projects listed on the Discord and welcome anyone to help contribute!▼ You ''don't ''have to ask to make an article. You ''don't ''have to personally identify as something to make an article about it (as long as you know enough to give an accurate description, and as long as its not exclusive to a culture, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, and/or [[Neurodivergent\|neurodivergence]]).
