Please move pansexuality and polysexuality to the sexual orientation category rather than the non-binary category. Even though they feel attraction to nonbinary people, they are still a sexual orientation and should be separated from orientations such as bisexual or homosexual.

Snaileer, per our WP:Due weight policy, no. Read Template talk:Sexual orientation/Archive 9#Someone (another editor) should add Pansexual/Omnisexual to the Sexual orientation template and also. . .. Not only are pansexuality and polysexuality not recognized as sexual orientations by any authoritative scientific organization, they are considered subsets of bisexuality by a number of reliable sources.

They are identified as sexual identities more than they are identified as sexual orientations. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:54, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, now that the template has a "Non-binary categories" section, it would not make sense to move pansexuality and polysexuality from that field or to have them listed in both the "Sexual orientations" and "Non-binary categories" sections.

By stating "should be separated from orientations such as bisexual or homosexual," it seems you meant to include "not," as in "should not be separated from orientations such as bisexual or homosexual." Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 03:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
