The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.

If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

Birth name?[edit]

What is her birth name? That's encyclopaedic info, and not invasion of privacy or what not since she is a public figure. 86.128.51.2 (talk) 19:56, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Biographies of living people tend to gove preference to privacy of individuals for information that isn't readily available. When it comes to transfolk, some prefer to keep their birthname private. I would support adding it if there was some pressing need to include Anna's birthname, (like maybe she was notable for having done things under that name) or if her birthname was commonly reported in media, but neither seems like its the case here.Pjjmd (talk) 05:33, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New content on itch.io[edit]

Hello! I noticed that Anthropy has completed many more projects which are not listed at time of writing. She has them classified on itch.io as "role-playing games", "digital games", and "interactive fiction". I would like to update the article to reflect this new content, but I am not sure if we would classify them all as "games" on the page or if any of them would need new sections. I feared that it would be sloppy of me to just add them all indiscriminately under "games", but I didn't want to create excessive headings and de-standardize the layouts we use for other game designers' libraries. --Scott.Hayden.Walker (talk) 20:48, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be helpful if we classified with interactive fiction as its own category. Many works in thie field blur the lines between games, literature, fiction, art, etc. It is a conundrum. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 13:47, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! I noticed that Pong Vaders had been listed with an iTunes link, so I'm going to update the existing library with links and add new titles to her list since the last time the game list was majorly edited. Hopefully this will encourage people to create new pages about these new games and set a precedent for keeping the game library updated and adequately linked. --Scott.Hayden.Walker (talk) 16:13, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
