Wikipedia:There's no need to guess someone's preferred pronouns

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In this collaborative project, we often refer to one another using pronouns. Many people don't realize that you don't have to guess or make assumptions about which to use. Just use the pronoun template!

All registered users can set their preferred pronouns in the "user profile" tab of their preferences. Using the pronoun template with someone's username checks that preference in order to produce their preferred pronoun.

Even if you think you know which pronouns someone prefers, it doesn't hurt to check by using that template.

For more information, see the documentation at Template:Pronoun.
