[edit] LGBT portal

I've incorporated the LGBT portal box into the LGBT project template. Is it all right if I also incorporate the portal link into the Transgender template? It's really just a question of design -- the two boxes of different sizes look awkward stacked on top of each other. DanB†DanD 23:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

When I saw that you had integrated it in the LGBT template, I was thinking about doing precisely the same thing to the TG template. I also dislike the way that a renderting bug sometimes causes these two dissimilar boxes to screw up the text flow around them. Go ahead. :) --AliceJMarkham 07:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Done! And I'm still on hold with the phone company! DanB†DanD 01:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Access to amenities broken

The access to amenities link is broken - we either need to remove it, or make it :)

As a suggestion, perhaps a better page title would be "Access_to_amenities_(Trans)"

The article doesn't exist. Why don't you make it? And then join us? :D Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

When I created the template, I wanted to also create that article but real life has interfered somewhat. I don't see the need to make the title any more complicated than necessary. In fact, if someone can suggest a more compact and coherent title, that would be great. --AliceJMarkham 22:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Made the article as suggested, and updated the template to match. As it's fairly specific to transgender, the (trans) sufix is probably nessecary. PLease feel free to expand it !! :D

[edit] Comprehensive list or only majors?

I note that an anon (IP) editor added Transman to the template recently.

While this is a valid transgender article, I'm concerned that adding every valid TG article to the template would result in the template turning into a list of TG articles, which would be far too big to transclude into every TG article. As such, I've reverted the addition of transman. --AliceJMarkham 04:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Seems like keeping it to the "headline" articles is more useful; additional links would clutter it up. They perhaps belong on the Template: Transgender footer? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lwollert (talk • contribs) 02:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC).

• I see the footer template as having the same content as the side box, and essentially being applied only to articles so short that the side box dominates. I suspect that, when such articles grow beyond start class, the side box may become more reasonable and we'd change to that. In the meaintime, running a footer will hopefully reduce the number of "it dominated the article so I removed it" incidents. --AliceJMarkham 23:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
