== Front page is confusing! == | |||
Hello. :) I'm thinking the front page is not very introductory - it doesn't suck you into a wiki rabbit hole like every wiki should! It needs more links to other pages and sections. I think perhaps a link to [[Special:WantedPages]] and maybe [[:Category:Nonbinary identities]] might be a good start? --[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]] ([[User talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) 01:36, 20 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
I also just created [[style guide]], which should probably be somewhere obvious, unless folks want to wait until it's a bit more fleshed out? --[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]] ([[User talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) 02:03, 20 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
:[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]: I started making a nicer design for the main page [[User:NeoMahler/tests|here]], using the color scheme of the non-binary flag. I have incorporated your changes there, tell me what do you think! There's just one thing I don't like: new users or casual visitors don't need a list of templates. Templates are just maintenance stuff, that can attract potential editors, but they shouldn't be in the main page. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 15:27, 20 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
::[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]]: I'm fine with all of that. :) --'''[[User:Cassolotl|<span style="color:#008000">Cassolotl</span>]]''' ''<small>([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) <span style="color:#808080">pronouns: they/them</span></small>'' 21:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC) | |||

I know it can help new binary [[allies]] to say "both", but it contradicts the rest of the sentence by suggesting that there are only two genders. I think this could be viewed as sexist, even if the writer had good intentions. | |||
:{{ping|Otvm}} thanks for pointing out! I have rewritten the sentence, tell me what do you think about it now (I have also removed the contradiction of "their gender can be neither"). I just added "both ''binary'' genders", because while it's true that there are more genders, there are just two binary genders. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 23:58, 16 December 2017 (UTC) | |||

I think it would be helpful to give a small label showing which page the article is describing. It is slightly odd to be suddenly thrown into a description without first knowing what is being described. I have provided a possibility below. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 00:29, 1 January 2018 (UTC) | I think it would be helpful to give a small label showing which page the article is describing.

Hi, I was looking at the front page of this site and I thought it could use a non-binary vocabulary page right on the front page so people could easily find it. Just an idea. =) | Hi, I was looking at the front page of this site and I thought it could use a non-binary vocabulary page right on the front page so people could easily find it.
