Christiaan,
It is one thing to split articles into two, it is another to castrate
the talk pages and move all things that are not to your liking
elsewhere. Your right to ask for a method to have mechanisms into the
mediawiki software is equal to my right to have an angst of this first
step of introducing censorship into our projects.
THERE. IS. NO. CENSORSHIP.
*Your proposal will make it mandatory to allow for
tags/categorisations
so that censorship will work.
Our proposal will make it POSSIBLE for categories to be used by
END-USERS to CHOOSE what they wish to see.
*Your original article title was End-user content
suppression and
decided that this was not "good" renamed it to image suppression
Because the focus was and has always been on images. Whether like
measures need to be taken for text is a different discussion.
*There has already been one anonymous coward asking
for using your
censoring mechanism for content.
What?
*You have repeatedly removed all things you thing are
detrimental to
your proposal from the article and its talk page
The article was intended for a discussion of the technical side of it.
Policy can be dealt with elsewhere.
*Basically you ask for censorship and find people who
oppose it.
You really need to read the wikien-l archives. Christiaan was one of the
most vocal opponents of linking images instead of inlining them.
As to your question, withdraw your proposal or allow
for criticism.
Constructive criticism is always welcome. Blanket false statements are not.
