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 aspre- and post-war
. The same is true forthirty-year mortgages
and all other examples given at the link.Bisexual
,homosexual
andheterosexual
are not hyphenated, though, so that's why I think it should behetero-, homo- and bisexual

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)
