Translate from English to another languages by becoming part of Wiki99/LGBT or translate articles from other languages into English, such as these articles from: Catalan, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, or Chinese.

Person Task Force

The Person Task Force is a working group of participants in the LGBT studies WikiProject dedicated to ensuring quality and coverage of biography articles of confirmed LGBT persons. Its primary focus is on living persons who have come out publicly, and of deceased persons whose sexuality is not in doubt.

Biographies of confirmed LGBT persons can be added to the Person Task Force's scope by adding "|person=yes" to the {{WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies}} template on the article's talk page.

LGBT in Canada work group

The LGBT in Canada work group coordinates efforts to create and improve articles on LGBT topics and personalities in Canada.

LGBT in the United States work group

The LGBT in the United States work group coordinates efforts to create and improve articles on LGBT rights by state and generally LGBT topics and personalities in the United States.

Internet Relay Chat (IRC)

Wikimedians working on LGBT projects have their own free Internet Relay Chat channel, #wikimedia-lgbt ^connect, for coordination, collaboration and socializing. This channel is hosted on Libera Chat and can be accessed in one of two ways:

If you already have an IRC client, connect to the Libera network (irc.libera.chat; help) and /join #wikimedia-lgbt.
If you do not have an IRC client, join the webchat. Alternatively, install an IRC client. There is more information and client suggestions at Wikipedia:IRC/Tutorial. Once you have done this, follow step 1.

For more information on IRC and a listing of other useful Wikipedia-related channels, see Wikipedia:IRC.
