|||
==Welcome to the LGBTA Wiki== |
|||
The LGBTA+ Wiki is meant to be a resource for members of the LGBTA+ community, people who are questioning, or anyone who's curious. Particularly this wiki is meant to be a helpful resource to explain everything this is to know about identities that are often unknown, unheard of, or are hard to find information on. |
|||
==Where To Start== |
|||
[[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-[[heteromantic]], 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. |
|||
If you are questioning you can browse our [[:Category:Sexuality|sexuality]], [[:Category:Ace-spec identity|ace-spec]], [[:Category:Aro-spec identity|aro-spec]], [[:Category:Gender|gender]], or [[:Category:Xenogender|xenogender]] categories. If you are specifically questioning your orientation you can check out the three part orientation resources here: ([[User blog:Chaoticcylinder/"I'm Questioning My Sexuality, Is There A Term For..." (Part 1)|part 1]], [[User blog:Chaoticcylinder/"I'm Questioning My Sexuality, Is There A Term For..." (Part 2)|part 2]], [[User blog:Chaoticcylinder/"I'm Questioning My Sexuality, Is There A Term For..." (Part 3)|part 3]]). |
|||
If you're new here it can also be helpful to check out the [[LGBTA Wiki:FAQ|FAQ]]. |

==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 [[LGBTA Wiki:Style Guide|style guide]] and the [[LGBTA Wiki:New Page Guidelines|new page guidelines]]. and be sure to follow the [[LGBTA Wiki:Community Guidelines|community guidelines]]. |
|||
*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). |
|||
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. You may also want to read the [[LGBTA Wiki:Page Editing Guidelines|editing guidelines]]. |
|||
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]]. |

We have recently updated the rules on what is considered "significant enough for a page". As a result pages have recently deleted. |
