Blog:Ideas for improving NSFW templates

So anyway, as we all know, back in December of last year, the NSFL template was deleted. A "mature" template was suggested, and eventually the NSFW template was redesigned into one and was renamed on CGW. Although there have been some disagreements in terms of whether or not it is necessary, I wanted to discuss this anyway, especially considering I disagree with those arguments.

Basically, my idea is that we change the templates on all of the Qualitipedia wikis. I have some specific ideas; see my ideas below.

Game wikis
So basically, when it comes to the game wikis, obviously, we give the page the mature template if we believe it has mature content. However, I have a better idea: Why don't we have templates for all ratings, and give the page whatever rating the game is? And note that I don't just mean the ESRB ratings, all of the ratings in each country, and which rating the page is given depends on where the company who made it comes from. Now before you say "that's too much work", note that I don't mean we have to go creating templates for all ratings. Do it this way: If you find a page made by a certain company from a certain country and the country's age ratings don't all have templates, create the one you need for the page. Also, when the company is from a country with no age rating system/the age rating is unknown/the age rating according to the page, is not appropriate/the page is not as appropriate as the game itself, we can use a template titled "no rating warning" for that that warns readers that the content is mature regardless. Also note, when it comes to pages about kids games, I think that uncensored swearing should be prevented in the comment section, and also in the article unless it is truly necessary (pages with a "no rating warning" are exceptions, and to be exact a relevant mention of swearing is necessary, but swearing to show expression is not). Now before you say "these wikis aren't necessarily for kids", I know they're not, but there is no reason why pages about children's games with no history to do with mature content shouldn't be appropriate for kids. Plus, in addition to this, there will be another version of the no rating warning that instead states that it is for children and therefore the same rules apply (no uncensored swearing unless necessary).

Companies and pages related to companies
Companies and pages related to companies depend on the case. If there is a reference to mature content of a game that is rated higher than all other games beside ones with the same rating that are mentioned, then the page is automatically given that rating. If it only talks about content of a certain game with a certain rating, then it gets the rating of the highest rated game that has its content discussed. The no rating warning template also applies. Same thing applies with people and things like that.

Anything else
Things like moments in gaming history depend on the subject. If the page is related to a game that has a certain rating and the page is just as appropriate, it gets that rating. But anything else gets one of the no rating warnings (it depends on the case which one it is).

Movie wikis
The same thing pretty much applies with these wikis that does with the game wikis except with films, companies that make films, etc.

Show and episode wikis
Again, the same thing pretty much applies but with shows, episodes, companies, etc.

Literature wikis
The literature wikis are again the same. However, in this case, I am not sure if all countries have literature ratings, however I do know that in Australia (my country) there are indeed literature ratings. If there are not literature ratings in certain countries, they get one of the no rating warnings (again, it depends on the case on what it is).

Website wikis
Technically, the internet itself doesn't have ratings for content. However, something that I thought of is that we could instead use YouTube's "made for kids" and "not made for kids" options, and if the content was more than just "not for kids" and much more mature, we could instead use the terminated/removed YouTube symbol.

Note
Before anyone does anything, I think I should note that the NSFW/mature templates should not be deleted, but much rather redesigned and renamed into one of the new templates. For example, we could turn the NSFW template on AMW to the American R rating.
