Requests for Comment/Removal of the NSFL template

{{ClosedRfC|Closed as successful, with no opposes. This shouldn't be too difficult of a task to perform, as well as there being no need for two templates about mature content. --Blazikeye535 (talk) 17:39, 11 December 2021 (UTC)| Disclaimer: ''I know the difference between NSFW and NSFL. I just wrote that from my point of view, looking at how users use these templates.''

May you explain the difference between NSFW and NSFL? Other users certainly can't see the difference neither, as they occasionally use both templates at the same time for the similar purpose, hence it serves as a duplicated template of the NSFW one. Therefore, we should only keep the NSFW template (or better option, merge it into "Mature").

 * 1)  As proposer. —A llistayrian  (💬) 14:31, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 2)  the split has always been unnecessary. I would suggest two measures to appease opposition; 1, allow levels to distinguish how NSFW,2, allow custom input to provide context on why NSFW. Make the one template more useful instead of a generic and often unhelpful split. --Raidarr (talk) 17:26, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 3)  Keep NSFW. There's no reason to have the NSFL template. If there were a page containing disturbing images/videos, NSFL might help. But so far, most pages with NSFL templates only have vague text description, and truth be told, they are not disturbing enough, just less disturbing than with the actual images/videos. Does the NSFL template help much? I guess you guys already know the answer. My final words: just remove the template if the wiki has no media meeting the NSFL criteria. NSFW, on the other hand, can stay — because there are pages on CGW that might include descriptions of nudity or intense sexuality — regardless of whether it being in the form of media or plain text, like this one.

 * I doubt truly disturbing content would be permitted anyway. I do think there is room to distinguish between how NSFW something is as subject matter, which is how the templates are typically used anyways. --Raidarr (talk) 14:01, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Per above Wing Commander confed star.pngTigerBlazer  14:12, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) I believe things would be easier if we just merged the two templates. If we can't do that, then the better alternative would be to keep only NSFW per the above. Marxo Grouch  (talk) 15:13, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) All of the stuff that the NSFL template covers also applies to the NSFW template. --Blazikeye535 (talk) 22:57, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Additional note: I’ve seen some users agree about using a template called "Mature". This is a better idea since it seems like a lot more people know what "mature" means than acronyms like NSFW or NSFL and has a broader definition. —Blazikeye535 (talk) 02:52, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) I say the template among with the NSFW template should be merged into one template called "Mature". Mr. Jay 641  (📄) 23:39, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Having two separate templates (NSFW and NSFL) that are warnings for adult content on pages was really unnecessary, so I honestly think both the NSFW and NSFL templates should be merged as "Mature", since that name is actually fitting. —Dragonite (talk) 03:08, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) NSFW is already effective. The7Guy (talk) 04:00, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 4) Having 2 templates for mature content is pointless and also clogs up an article. Both already warn users that there are explicit content on an article, so they should be merged into only one template that should be called "Mature". --User:LuigiMan050-5 (talk) 12:19, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 5) I support this idea because having an NSFL template has always been unnecessary as we already have an NSFW template, which means basically the same thing, only slightly less mature than the NSFL template. Plus the NSFL template is already overused along with the NSFW template, though we should have moderation basing on the NSFW template. -AleXYZ-510 (talk) 20:48, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 6) I know some people have different definitions as to what constitutes as NSFL. I define it as content that is extremely disturbing or shocking (such as gore, or extremely disturbing or unsettling stories). We don't really have content like that here. We do occasionally have articles that could be disturbing for some users, where the NSFW template is enough. To be honest, content here that is considered NSFW is just borderline. If we ever need to include images that may be disturbing, the NSFW template is already enough as I'm sure most people are familiar with what constitutes as NSFW on the internet. --Atomicstar (talk) 04:48, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I think there may be uncertainty here; NSFW/L as the game subject matter, and as the article content matter. We barely make NSFW on most article content (and there is no reason to go beyond that), while game subject I think is often conflated and considered a reason to use the templates. In other words the reason for overuse may have something to do with an unclear scope to use the template. --Raidarr (talk) 08:12, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

 * 1) We should fuse one as "Mature". King Dice (talk) 16:46, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) I really don't care. FatBurn0000 (talk) 00:55, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) So this is something that I have been thinking about yet do not have a clear way yet. Thing is NSFW I believe would be for adult content (pornographic, mature themes) while NSFL was for hardcore stuff (extreme violence, political themes and reference to tragic events and crimes) and controversial stuff. I do agree that having two templates is confusing as I have a hard time thinking about if a page really needs that template and what type fits. Perhaps one method is that the templates would be merged as suggested by King Dice, or seperate them into different categories. Or for simpler reasons remove the NSFL and then modify NSFW to have an editable description so that the editor can specify why this page is NSFW. I do feel maybe NSFW could be rebranded like King Dice said and maybe it could be categorised into different things but this might complicate things more, so I think my solution for now would be to rebrand the NSFW and add editable descriptor, additionally maybe age restriction could be specified as well?

 * 4) I agree with King Dice's idea. NSFW and NSFL are just two different types of mature content, so it would make more sense to have just a single "Mature Content" template rather than have just the NSFW template. A mature content template could also be customizable to say exactly what the mature content is, sort of like how the warning templates work. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:32, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
