Notice I'm changing a lot of pages? Please note I'm sweeping the wiki to adhere to our current standards. For each page I am...
- Archiving Resources
- Changing categorisation to only include the lowest sub-category(s). This is to improve organisation and make pages easier to find. Preferably we would like users to rely on the category tree function, which can get very messy if every Coric gender is also added to the Xenogender category. Adding sub-category identities to large umbrellas can end up drowning out the pages that do no fit into a sub-category.
- Adding unverified + no history pages to Candidate for Deletion category.
I am also removing redundant categories, templates, and just performing general housekeeping. Please let me know if there's any issues. - Jeb, 11/02/2022.

Gayfocus and Lesbianfocus
hello! I am writing about the deleted "gayfocus" and "lesbianfocus" labels
they are not the same as cupiosexual, because they are supposed to be used together with labels in the asexual and aromantic spectrum (including greasexual/greyaromantic, demisexual/demiromantic, and others)
and cupiosexuals can also use these labels to describe that they are only interested in masculine/feminine characters - Asdreemurr844
- Hey Asdreemurr,
- Cupiosexual does have that same usage as they can be used with other labels, and something like Cupioheterosexual, etc.
- You should also ensure pages are sourced to an external site.
- hey jeb,
- okay, can I just attach a link to a tweet about these orientations and change the title to "cupiohomosexual" ("cupiogay" "cupiolesiban") because I couldn’t find any information or a flag?
- Sure, you could add them as components to the Cupiosexual page, or make new pages and link them to the main Cupiosexual article. Also maybe Cupiovincian would make more sense? As Vincian is the opposite of Lesbian, whilst Gay is more of a broader term. And just make sure you include that external source. :) Thanks.

- oops, sorry, I just got used to the fact that in Ukrainian and Russian gay = vincian. thanks! Asdreemurr844 (talk) 10:52, April 6, 2022 (UTC)
Regarding the Sex Stances Category Page
Hello.
I have a series of changes I’d like to make related to the category page regarding Sex Stances, but the change is larger than I’ve made before and it deals with a category page so I wanted to check with an admin. (It isn't letting me link the page in the text properly, so here is the link in question: https://lgbta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Sex_Stances)
The category right now is very specific and I want to expand it to include stances regarding other types of interaction (right now it is specific to attitudes towards sex). This would involve renaming the category to Interaction Stances and creating pages underneath it for attitudes towards other interactions related to other attraction types (eg. Touch Stances [sensual attraction], Romance Stances [romantic attraction], Friendship Stances [platonic attraction]).
Several of these concepts are already present on the wiki (eg. Touch-Favorable or Romance-Repulsed), but don’t fit under the specific concept of sex stances. I felt that repurposing this page into a single category page for stances towards different types interactions would be more efficient than asking about making a category page for each type.
Obviously I would make sure to coin any terms that don’t already exist before proceeding with this.
Will this be okay?
- That sounds like a great idea! It might be easier to just create a new category than try to rename the previous one.
- ) And then I can delete Sex_Stances once it's obsolete.

- Awesome, thanks! I'll work on that tonight. Oculusleviathan (talk) 21:58, April 26, 2022 (UTC)
- I finished making and organizing the new category (https://www.lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Category:Interaction_Stances). I spent some time reformatting most of the pages it contains to clear them up and make related pages consistent.
- The old category page (https://www.lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Category:Sex_Stances) is empty now and ready for deletion when you decide.
- Thank you for the help!

problem
Every time I try to pull up a page on the wiki, it sends me to lgbtqia.wiki for some reason. Marie (talk) 22:11, April 26, 2022 (UTC)
- as in following a link or typing it in manually? thats really vague /nbr DespOIcito (talk) 00:53, April 27, 2022 (UTC)
- this occurs via searching it up, then clicking on the thing that shows up. Marie (talk) 03:16, April 27, 2022 (UTC)
- Update: I have learned that it does not occur any other way of getting to a page. Marie (talk) 03:19, April 27, 2022 (UTC)
