Kaldari: Great, thanks for doing this. I'm going to start adding this editnotice to trans/nonbinary BLPs. You should still consider posting to

WT:GGTF as well.

Ah, OK. So should I draw up a list of trans/NB folks into one big edit request? Do I need to ask formally at a noticeboard or can I just recruit you and other sympathetic admin/template editors to do it? :-)
