Wiki can be defined as a website or an online database that is developed in collaboration by many users. Essentially, it is a community site that allows a multitude of people to add, edit as well as suggest content. LGBTQ+ Wiki focuses on topics that are related to queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary individuals unless otherwise noted on the page itself.
This Wiki is a community-based database created by a large team of people. This means the folks who contribute to these pages are not only focusing on trending articles but also the adaptation of texts created in the past. Among them are Taimi team writers, editors as well as analysts, and activists. Taimi community members are also able to post as well as suggest content that is published on the page. It is important to note that all the writers are either LGBTQ+ people or their allies.
Inclusive language is always evolving so it may need to be updated in the article post its publication. Many LGBTQ+ glossaries exist with pages on health, culture, ethnicity that are no longer accurate and need to be updated. So, the terms are updated frequently because the terminology is always growing and expanding. Gender, sexual attraction as well as romantic attractions are on a spectrum. There are many identities, expressions as well as attractions that often require a new and updated definition. So, sometimes outdated terminology may be available under unless otherwise marked by our users or staff.
We are open to constructive criticism. If you feel that some parts of the text do not explain the subject well or are exclusive of some information, feel free to submit your updates to wiki@taimi.com. This is the email address to send new and exclusive information to as well as add your article and suggestions. Please note that only messages that clearly explain the mistake as well as provide links to a trusted page will be reviewed by our team.
Just like any website run by many users, there are pros and cons to having an article database. Among the many benefits are the opportunities to provide more information, history, terminology and definitions, resources, and education.
That said, there are cons associated with a general article knowledge database. There may be terms that are now outdated, some may even find them offensive, there may also be information that some people will be more sensitive about than others. We strive to make our Wiki as inclusive, understanding, and extensive as possible.
