This is a documentation subpage for Template:MOS-TRANS. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template should not be substituted.

This template uses Lua: Module:Params (sandbox)

• {{MOS-TRANS}}
  • equivalent to the defaults: {{MOS-TRANS|ds=yes|they=yes}}
  • This will display the above 3 boxes which:
    1. Mark the article as a contentious topic under the active arbitration remedies to warn editors to take extra caution when editing such articles.
    2. Explain to editors that care has to be taken to follow our guidelines around deadnaming or misgendering subjects connected to the article.

If neccessary, some customizations can be made to the defaults:

• {{MOS-TRANS|f}}
  • set the gender displayed (options are f for trans women,m for trans men, nb for non-binary people)
• {{MOS-TRANS|nb|they=false}} (omit note about usage of singular they)
• {{MOS-TRANS|addct1=at}}
  • Adds an additional contentious topic in addition to the default code for gender and sexuality related topics
  • For a list of codes please see Template:Contentious topics/table
  • If more than one addition topic is needed, they can be appended with continued numbers added to the end of addct in the form of addctX for example:
    • {{MOS-TRANS|addct1=at|addct2=ap}} to append two additional contentious topics to the warning box box
  • Note: This will only display additional codes if the contentious topics box is displayed. It will not be dusplayed if ds=no is set
• {{MOS-TRANS|f|ds=no}}
  • hides contentious topic warning - this should typically only be used for technical reasons such as another CTOP box already being present to which the WP:CT/GG code can be added to

• {{MOS-TW}} – equivalent to {{MOS-TRANS|f}} to display trans women in note
• {{MOS-TM}} – equivalent to {{MOS-TRANS|m}} to display trans men in note
• {{MOS-NB}} – equivalent to {{MOS-TRANS|nb}} to display non-binary people in note

Please be aware that this template is used on many talk pages (including via the wrappers for trans women, trans men, and non-binary people) and is also used to embed the WP:CT/GG Arbitration Enforcement header into them.

• Care should be taken when making edits to the template itself. Consider testing changes in the /sandbox first and check the /testcases to compare changes, and consider raising a request at the Talk page page to ask for feedback prior to boldly making a change affecting many pages.
• Note that no fundamental changes about the wording of the textbox should be made without consensus to do so as a result of an RfC or similar discussion at central related places such as WP:BLPN or WT:MOSBIO as documented at MOS:GIDINFO with a long history.
• Do not remove or modify the embedded {{Contentious topics/talk notice|gg}} transclusion code if it would result in the contentious topic warning being removed from the article talk pages that are using this or one of its wrappers without alerting the ArbCom clerks at WT:AC/C about such a change beforehand.
