Template Suggestions

  • Hey there! While I would normally just make my own templates and add them on the wiki, the specific templates I want to create need approval to the wiki (and because of this, I don't want this thread to take weeks to finish, I kinda want to get a consensus within a week or two). These ideas include a profanity template (which was considered but ultimately opposed against years ago) and updating the spoilers template to where it actually covers up the details (similar to how TV Tropes covers their spoilers, or have an open/close tab for long sections such as history sections). Both of these were debated and both were voted against, but I honestly think that, with the community slowing getting lively by the day thus a newer set of opinions, we should vote on this against.

    I've made an example of the profanity template below (remember, I'm not going to add this on the wiki until we get a positive consensus):

    This article contains mild profanity that may be inappropriate.
    The content of the article may be deemed inappropriate to those under the age of 13. Parental guidance may be necessary for those under 13 to continue reading the article.

    As for updating the spoiler template, this is the one idea I would preferably like to update. I wouldn't know how to update the spoilers template to where it can cover up the spoilers in a matter of TV Tropes/covering the whole section via a tab button, but if someone could, try it out yourself here.

    That's all I have to say, hope we can settle this discussion like responsible young-adults (or even adults for some).

    • I approve of the profanity tab, even though most profanity on the wiki is minor, it should still be warned about and allows a user to use their better judgement to decide if it should be viewed at their age or not. As for the spoilers tab, that is absolutely perfect, having gone through a TVTropes phase I know exactly how that works and it works WELL. Another idea is to use a folding tab similar to NIWA Zelda Wiki's spoilers/fan theories tabs.

    • Better profanity template:

      This article contains mild profanity that may be inappropriate.
      Reader discretion is recommended for younger users.

      Why? Because I don't want people think this wiki is PG-13.

      Support for the spoiler covering.

      This really helps kids viewing this wiki make smart choices about visiting articles with potty-mouth.

    • Profanity tab?

      Hm, didn't know we had articles here with swearing.

      You're misunderstood: Sonic OVA has tons of inappropriate things, along with Shadow; Sonic 06 had the word "a*s" in the main theme; and Unleashed had blood. That's plenty of things.

      Unleashed had green blood so I don't think that one needs it.

      • OVA had some mature themes which is no different from todays inappropriate jokes slipped into modern kids cartoons.
      • Shadow hd the word "Damn" in it, some find that word too weak to be a swear, others do I guess.
      • '06s theme song had alternate lyrics. Only the clean version made it into the games.

      "Green blood" doesn't make it any more different than real blood. It stills counts.

      • OVA has inappropriate jokes made in more mature cartoons and not in ones that an average child would watch (do you see a character from Gumball giving the bird to someone else? No, you don't.).
      • Shadow had more than "damn," it also had blood like Unleashed, and the word "hell" was used too.
      • And it still counts for Sonic '06, regardless if they changed the lyrics.

      You also got to remember that Rouge said "b**tard" in the Japanese version of Sonic Battle, all the censoring in Sonic X, and the lyrics of some Sonic Adventure 2 themes. That's plenty.

      • It wasn't the bird, it was the index finger.
      • Blood was recoloured though, which by some censorship reasons I don't understand means it's totally alright as long as it's not red. I honestly don't get who recolouring blood counts as censhorship but I've seen such censorship before.
      • I tihnk only on it's own article.

      Exactly what are you trying to prove? All you're doing is dragging out this discussion into unnecessary detail (just like most, if not all, threads you contribute to, I might add). It doesn't matter if the blood's recolored, that's still a little on-the-lines of being grotesque. It doesn't matter if it was the Japanese version of Sonic X that had swearing and such. It matters in the sense that we cover everything Sonic related, and there are SOME things that need warning.

      Also want to point out that it was the edited version of the OVA that covered up the middle finger and made it into the index finger. You're thinking of the edited version, we're talking about the original version which we cover on this wiki.

      I know, but apparently censores are okay with any blood colour other than red.

    • Sorry for the post removal.

      I've already pinned a warning on the His World article.

      Oh wait...

      At least there's a warning on the Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie article.
