==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. 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. |
|||
If there are any issues, please reach out to the staff team, preferably the bureaucrats. A list providing the staff team can be found [[User blog:Contie/Staff Members|here]]. |
|||
==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-[[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. |
|||
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, especially to MOGAI, it can also be helpful to check out the [[LGBTQIA+ Wiki:FAQ|FAQ]]. |
|||
If you cannot comment, reply, or post, it is either because you are not signed in, or because your account is not yet auto-verified. To be auto-verified, your account must exist on this wiki for three (sometimes four) days. This is not an action that can be done by administrators, it is an automated action on this wiki. |

==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:Style Guide|style guide]] and the [[LGBTQIA+ Wiki:Article_Guidelines|article guidelines - and be sure to follow the [[LGBTQIA+ 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, and as long as its not exclusive to a culture, race, ethnicity, religion, [[Disabled|disability]], and/or [[Neurodivergent|neurodivergence]]). |
|||
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. |
|||
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]]. |

You read that correctly. Contie has resigned due to reasons that will remain unstated. So, what’s next? |
|||
Now that Contie has left, we need a bureaucrat to care for the wiki. The individual taking that spot will be [https://lgbta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Kyaru-ii Kyaru-ii] on Miraheze. |

This is an end of an era and a start of a new one. Please welcome our new bureaucrat with open arms. |
