Who can edit the Wiki?

Anyone can make changes to the wiki! Once you have created an account, you will have the option to edit most pages at the top of the screen.

Links to edit a page

Mobile-version

There are two edit modes:

• Visual editing will edit the page graphically, as though it were a word processor.
• Source editing is more advanced and difficult to learn, but allows you customize the underlying wikitext code for the page.

To protect the wiki from vandalism, a small number of pages are protected from being edited. If you have ideas for those pages, however, let an admin know! We are always looking for feedback.

Creating an account

If you would like to edit the wiki, you will need to create an account and confirm your email address.

After registering an account, you will receive an email titled "Trans People Together email address confirmation". There is a link in that email you can click to confirm your email address. This is necessary before making changes to pages.

If you do not receive the confirmation email, it can be resent from your settings page.

Moderator review

As a wiki run by transgender people, we need to be especially careful to limit the vandalism to wiki pages.

To protect the wiki:

• Only logged in users who have confirmed their email address can make changes.
• Unless your account has been verified by a moderator, changes you make to articles will route automatically to a moderator to review. Until your changes have been reviewed and approved, only you will be able to see them.
• If your changes are rejected, a moderator will reach out to let you know.
