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 LGBT studies template on the article's talk page.

Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
Wikimedians working on LGBT projects have their own free Internet Relay Chat channel,, for coordination, collaboration and socializing. This channel is hosted on Libera Chat and can be accessed in one of two ways:


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