[edit]

Hi Raladic. I understand the concern about not overwhelming the sidebar, however, this a closed drop-down section, so the sidebar will stay limited in size unless [show] is clicked on. I also could've added a lot more pages, such as ones including years, but limited my additions and removed those I added which included this to trying and stop the sidebar becoming overwhelmed. What would you class as "high level related pages"? And can we come to some sort of a compromise on including some of these? Maybe we could open a new section or sections for some of them? Or maybe create a new sidebar for LGBT related media? It would be good to hear your thoughts. All the best. Helper201 (talk) 02:59, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The way the LGBTQ sidebar is used is almost always in a partial expanded way, as it has a section expand, which is used on most pages.
That's why the overlinking is not going to be useful for the LGBTQ sidebar as this is basically the main sidebar to get to top-level articles and then people typically navigate on from there to sub-articles, via more specific sub sidebars, or more commonly bottom navboxes, that's more or less how the navigation is structured for the hundreds of LGBTQ topic articles.
For LGBTQ media, we have the Template:LGBTQ fiction and of course all sorts of other navigational aids related to LGBTQ articles under the Category:LGBTQ templates. As for the Slang term pages, we already have Template:LGBTQ_slang_terms.
If you wanted to create sidebars as companions for those two media bottom navboxes for inclusion on those pages, that of course could be something you could do. Raladic (talk) 03:12, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to change the Reproduction label under the Health sidebar to Assisted Reproduction as the Reproduction page does not include birth control or anything other than that. Ellacmccalmont25 (talk) 14:37, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "reproduction" in the sidebar links to Use of assisted reproductive technology by LGBT people already. LizardJr8 (talk) 17:10, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per title. Was thinking that this would be a good addition to the navbox.

Seeing no opposition, I'm going to go ahead and do it.

Scratch that, it seems like I misunderstood the template structure and past consensus.

11 Dec 2025 edit of Issues sidebar section

[edit]

Will soon swap out Template:LGBTQ sidebar code at lines 206-208 (under list7) in favour of:

* [[Violence against LGBTQ people|Violence]]
** [[Violence against LGBTQ people in Belize|in Belize]]
** [[Violence against LGBTQ people in the United Kingdom|in UK]]
** [[Violence against LGBTQ people in the United States|in US]]
** [[List of acts of violence against LGBTQ people|List]]
** [[Violence against transgender people|Trans people]]

List article seems ok here, but the last three Violence ... in articles seem like they might go against the template warning ("Note that this template captures the general topics related to LGBTQ issues and does not generally include location specific pages."), except that (i) the Violence ... in the US article is already listed, (ii) the warning seems to be disregarded (even down to city-scope articles) in a few of the sidebar's sections, so doesn't seem so strict?

Sorry if this upsets smth/pls feel free to revert if it's a bad edit :) (possibly relevant pings fm edit history - @Helper201, Trystan, Castncoot, and Sangdeboeuf:) - Asdfjrjjj (talk) 22:25, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
