Alternate Names
If this is called by any other names, put them here. (Put the origin words/explanations of each name in parenthesis.)

Etymology
Name sources, and how to pronounce it as well if that isn't clear.

Definitions
Text goes here. Put the original text used when coining here.

History
Text goes here. Some terms have lots of discussion and years of effort behind them, this is where we'd talk about that, like how pan was mentioned in early bisexual manifestos, the progression of the pan community, etc.

Subsets

 * If there's subsets of this orientation, (like how adfectu- could be considered a subset of neuro-) put links to them here (with no description).

Controversy
If there's been a specific variety of (this identity)-phobic discourse that has led to discrediting it (examples being pan, ace, etc) or if this identity is potentially genuinely harmful (aliqua, quasihomo), please detail that here. This section can also be renamed called "flag controversy" if there have been similar -phobic discourses around popular flags, examples being the racist claims around the pan flag, or the true racism and biphobia of the pink lesbian flag's creator.

Flags
EVERY single flag, possibly including the 'main' one that may be put in the above template, goes here. Try to provide who made a flag and when it was introduced if that information is available. If nothing, leave blank.

Combinations

Combination flags for multiple labels would go here, ex; aromantic bisexual, transgender bi.

Coining
Any screenshots or other images related to original discussions of coining this term, if there are any, go here. If nothing, leave blank.

Other
Any other kind of image (symbols from the flag, people waving pride flags, merchandise with the flags, images used to describe the gender, cube flags, aesthetic flags, MOGAIballs, etc) goes here. If nothing, leave blank.

Usage
Examples of people actually identifying with this label or the definition of it go here. Acceptable examples include quotes from celebrities or public figures, survey results like the Gender Census, and screenshots of blogs (with permission). Fictional characters may also be added to this section if they've canonicly been said to be this label.
