 | The subject of this biography uses, and should be referred to with, the pronouns {{{1}}}. Please do not change these pronouns without a consensus on the talk page. For more information, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography § Gender identity. |
Usage
editThis template may be used as an editnotice to alert editors that the subject of the article goes by certain gender pronouns. It is intended for biographies of transgender or non-binary people. See MOS:GENDERID for the relevant guidelines.
The template directs users to the article's talk page to gain consensus rather than pronoun-warring, in the hope that this will divert some amount of mainspace disruption. If there is a concern that this will do more harm than good, set the talk-link parameter to no to suppress that sentence.

|they/them or he/him
