Using the Wiki

Navigating

At the top of many pages there is a navigation box with links to explore different topics and resources.

Who can edit articles?

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 you are in 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 at all. If you have ideas for those pages however, let us know by email. 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 on to confirm your email address. This is necessary before making any changes to pages.

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

Be aware that your username will be visible to anyone who visits this website. Please do not use any username that contains identifying information such as your full name.

Moderator Review

As a wiki for trans people, we need to be especially careful to prevent the vandalism of articles.

To protect the wiki:

• Only logged in users who have confirmed their email address can make changes.
• Until your account has been verified by a moderator, any changes you make will be sent to a moderator for 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 by email to let you know.

If you would like to have your account verified and avoid this review process, there are two ways:

• If you are trans, non-binary, or gender-diverse, you can ask on one of our two Discord servers.
• If you are not or you would prefer to use email, send us a message at info@transpeopletogether.org.

You do not need to be trans to contribute! If you are a cis person, you can both make changes and be verified by a moderator. Help is appreciated from anyone who is able to contribute useful changes.

If you have an organization that is included in the wiki, feel free to make changes to improve your own page. Those changes will be reviewed by a moderator before being published.
