Bisexual vs. bi-sexual

You do have hetero- and homosexual preferences elsewhere, though. That's also the correct syntax in Dutch (dunno, about English). --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:56, 4 December 2007 (CST)

In the first sentence, "hetero-", "homo-" and "bi-" are all prefixes to the word "sexual", and thus should be written in that matter, since the hyphen is a "suspended hyphen". -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 16:19, 4 December 2007 (CST)

From my reading, the suspended hyphens rule only applies to words that would have the hyphen when used by themselves as well: post-war has a hyphen regardless of whether it's combined as pre- and post-war. The same is true for thirty-year mortgages and all other examples given at the link. Bisexual, homosexual and heterosexual are not hyphenated, though, so that's why I think it should be hetero-, homo- and bisexual. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:32, 5 December 2007 (CST)

Now, technically, the hyphen should be consistent throughout, but I didn't have time to copyedit this since the wiki's been running slow and I didn't care to lose my work. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 16:19, 4 December 2007 (CST)

POV real template breakage

The "Real point of view" message is positioned underneath the first sentence in my browser (Firefox 2). --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:56, 4 December 2007 (CST)

The template has been broken for a good while now. It's also showing at the place where it's added in the article, instead of a fixed position regardless of its place in the code (at least the last time I checked). I brought it up on its talk page once, but was told that it wasn't completed yet...which can't be entirely right. --Serenity 16:23, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Try a hard refresh. It should be to the right of the title header now. ;-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 16:42, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Redirects

Maybe we should redirect "queer", etc, here and spoil Toton's next paper. --Steelviper 13:10, 22 December 2007 (CST)

Well, we have "queer" redirecting to the general Sexuality disambiguation, which is enough. People can figure out the rest from there. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 13:14, 22 December 2007 (CST)

You could redirect it to Felix Gaeta for laughs ;) --Serenity 14:25, 22 December 2007 (CST)

Or let's not. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 14:39, 22 December 2007 (CST)
