Dear #trans people, #LGBT #Queer #LGBTQIA and allies from the Fediverse, if you have a #Wikipedia account (note: with at least 50 edits in French articles before January 29, sorry), you may help the French Wikipedia to become a better place to read quality articles involving trans people.
Under the pressure of trans and allied contributors (Edit: and NOT at the initiative of T&A contributors), the French Wikipedia moderators opened a survey on "how to handle #deadname mentions in our articles".
The survey proposes 6 questions and multiple possibilities, including harmful and insensitive ones.
At the moment, the answer ratio is not in favour of trans people. Most of the time, people insist on mentioning the deadnames like it's a data like any other, including when unnecessary.
This must change, and here's why I'm making a call to you.
(Edited) The rules to vote are restricted to editors of French contents who were already active before February, so it's actually not possible to vote on behalf of French trans people with no account, BUT you still may vote: they won't be taken into account but they will remain visible on the page.
Action and reskeets may save young trans people from shitty behaviours from careless cis people.
Thank you by advance 
And sorry for the multiple editions

FINAL EDIT I'm probably going to be suspended soon for my outrageous behaviour consisting of : having posted this very toot, and being pissed by the passive-agressive tone and the general stubbornness of a bunch of wiseguys who consider that it's not okay to call for collaboration to the rules of a collaborative online encyclopedia, because, woo, BIAS. So long and thanks for all the fish.
Next episode : My indefinite suspension (in French starting from there)
