Forum:Pronouns in Infobox Person

Opening post
I think we should introduce a pronouns field in. I feel that this should go in the top section, perhaps under "Other names" (although I'm not steadfast on this). I feel that this would potentially help people to use the correct pronouns and reduce misgendering. I originally got this idea from Wookieepedia and one thing I like about their implementation is that, as explained at their Template:Person (the equivelant to our ), the field is called "listedpronouns" and can only be filled in if the person "has publicly self-identified their pronouns and a valid source is provided" (valid source, in this context, presmubaly referring to a real world source such as a Twitter bio or public statement). While, somewhat ironically, the only example I could find with my pretty much non-existant Star Wars knowledge of this field in use does not include a citation, I feel that the idea is very sound in principal and should help keep potentially harmful incorrect statements to a minimum. Therefore, I suggest that we apply a similar policy and require citations. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Bongo50  ☎  17:24, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Discussion
I agree with this, makes sense. We could also perhaps do something similar for, as we don't really have anything like that for in universe individuals either. Or perhaps that's a bad idea? Aquanafrahudy  📢   18:15, 23 August 2023 (UTC)


 * This is for real world people? I think, so long as the people we're writing about are comfortable, sounds like a good idea. (I really gotta write the OP for the pronoun fields in soon...)  19:33, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
