Question about reversal
May I ask what the Wikipedia standard is when the person in the article uses neopronouns? I have seen in the version history another person said that the established precedent is that if a person's pronouns are uncommon, use the person's name instead. However I've looked through the gender identity section of the manual of style and in other articles talking about writing about these topics and I haven't seen anything talking about that. Maybe I've missed it?
I do understand why you reversed the edit since I guess it would be confusing and hard to read for the layman. I kind of assumed it'd be okay because it was already at the top of the page that Quasar uses xe/xem/xyr pronouns. Do you think you can clarify why you reversed the edit and tell me how to go about this in the future? --Nyla Smokeyface (talk) 02:07, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you Nyla Smokeyface. The relevant policies are MOS:IDENTITY and MOS:GENDERID. My understanding for articles such as Daniel Quasar is that we go with whatever recent reliable sources use, rather than whatever neopronouns the article subject may themselves use. After all, Wikipedia is a tertiary summary of what is written in (reliable) secondary sources, and we create biographies, not autobiographies. As far as I can determine in this case, reliable sources avoid using any pronouns, so this should be our approach. I will copy this thread to Talk:Daniel Quasar, as others may wish to contribute.

reFill issue with olympics.com URLs
Hi Edwardx, just wanted to briefly make you aware that there's currently an issue with reFill that causes it to turn any olympics.com URL into a garbled mess. I've fixed the issue for Mikhail Astashov, but still wanted to make you aware of this. I already reported this problem in late July, but unfortunately, recent maintenance of the tool has been spotty – for example, it still inserts to this day the deprecated |dead-url=
into articles. Anyway, thanks! AngryHarpytalk 05:59, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- If it helps, there is a template that can be used for Olympics.com profiles: Template:Olympics.com profile. If you just fill in the ID then it populates the rest of the citation for you. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:40, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you kindly, AngryHarpy and Joseph for your constructive comments. Edwardx (talk) 09:57, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
