I see the possibility to include every wiki by adding a warning-template to it, whenever there is a good reason to warn.[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 16:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC) | I see the possibility to include every wiki by adding a warning-template to it, whenever there is a good reason to warn.[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 16:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC) | ||
:That's fine, but it might have the opposite of the intended effect. Kinda like how kids know which music and movies are good, by looking for the "parental advisory" and R ratings.

::This assumes an "intended effect." It may also assume unsupervised, wild children who have no sense. *Parents* use ratings, to decide what they will support and allow. Warnings that are fact-based do seem quite appropriate. This is an ordinary editorial decision, not an exclusion/inclusion decision. As well, *attributed opinions* may be expressed, and guidelines on that may be developed. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 20:23, 3 December 2014 (UTC) | ::This assumes an "intended effect."

There are several systems that claim to help parents with the media consummation of their kids. In order to come on their positive list You got to confirm to certain standards. I do not think that it should be the objective of this wiki to even try to make it on their lists. Certainly we should not have illegal content on wiki. But for an international wiki or a wiki with international scope, what is legal? Is the legal code of the country in which the current server sits the defining factor? However, in the first place, the question of linking to potentially illegal content does not even arise. | |||
But, like the deletion guideline which suggests to delete entries about wikis if the leader/owner of that wiki so wishes, we could mark a wiki we are linking to as potentially illegal if anybody complains and supplies us with proof of that. That I would regard as a service to the readers of this wiki (How would we call them? User denotes a registered editor. Maybe we should call them (re-)searchers of this wiki ;-). The reader may be warned. And if anybody does not believe a sign saying "No Drinking Water!" it is not the problem of the one who made the sign! | |||
Part of any policy to mark an entry as linking to potentially illegal material would be to semi-protect this page right then to prevent IP-edit-wars. And th4 policy needs to include guideline for leaders of such accused wiki to identify and verify them as competent, be informed about that mark, defend their point and eventually get the mark removed. As one can easily see from this, it involves a lot of work. Simple deletion of pages would not do. It requires judgement procedures and the like. the heavier the measure, the more responsibility, accountability and work. Sudden emotionally driven delete sessions of a single sysop do no good to this wiki. | |||
Furthermore, any such policy requires responsible persons to translate them into action. And by now, nobody here has got any specific duty. Also I do not see a single sysop her, who would be ready to commit oneself to any specific duty. | |||
