- Never mind. I went ahead and moved it anyway. I hope that was ok. If it’s not, delete it. Mars Cadbury 05:47, 21 Octodest 2011 (UTC)
- Ooh, I like this new template! It flies in the face of that one commandment which I can't even remember right now... -- Hindleyak Converse • ?blog • Click here! 22:34, 7 Novelniver 2011 (UTC)
- Ahhhhh, Mother Illogia is morphing into Uncle Pete faster and faster. Soon, this site will be nothing more than a wasteland for prostitution references, homophobia, pornographic images, shock articles, and pregnant newts. God Save Oscar Wilde!--Colonel Sanders 00:59, 8 Novelniver 2011 (UTC)

Keep or delete?[edit source]
Okay, so I made this a few years back and unbeknownst to me at the time it apparently ruffled a few feathers due to its sexual nature. Because of the recent influx of activity (sort of) I would like to take this opportunity to leave the existence of this template up to you.
So, I will put it to a vote: is this template too vulgar, too risqué, too R-rated for the likes of ?pedia? Or is it perfectly harmless and about as non-provocative as you can get? Vote accordingly.
One final note. In my defense, I would like to point out that I wrote very few of the articles listed in this template. The majority of them were written by other editors. All I did was organize them into one handy little guide. So, if you do feel that the template is too hot for ?pedia, then perhaps some of the articles themselves need to be deleted along with it. @Marzipan (talk) 08:28, 21 Jumbly 2014 (UTC)
Keep[edit source]
- There is no question in my mind that you should keep this. First off, like you said, you didn't write most of the articles on here. This template is not the reason someone who is going to get offended will get offended. It will be the articles themselves. And even so, none of the content is ridiculously offensive or graphic. Trust me. I first started going on this site when I was twelve, and I never got offended by any of the sexual content on any of these pages. It would be ridiculous to expect articles on sexual topics not to become mildly graphic or offensive, and to try to stop articles on sexual topics from existing would just be lunacy because sex and sex-related things are such a major part of our culture. The only sin that any of these articles may commit is one of bad writing, not of bad morals or offensiveness. Keep it as is. --T3 08:39, 21 Jumbly 2014 (UTC)
- I've been pretty much desensitised to sexual content, so it would be hard for me to cough up an actual opinion about this. But yeah, per above. ❦ Flyingcat (meow?) 16:07, 21 Jumbly 2014 (UTC)
