You just suggest that we give up some of wikipedia openness and very concept, just for the fear of an event that could very well be handled through peer pressure and votes for deletion.
Not at all, as (almost) anyone can become sysop. I did not suggest "sysop only" to take some rights from the unwashed masses, merely as a practical measure. I don't insist on that.
Suggestion: Limit creating categories to sysops for, say, two month after installing the category system. After that, anyone can create categories. The idea is that once we have some category scheme that works, people will rather stick to the existing system than trying to invent a new one, e.g. by adding a "people from Novosibirsk that made U.S. president" ;-)
IMHO deleting categories should be resrticted, until there's an "undelete" option. No doubt, my implementation needs work; renaming and merging categories will be important. Easy to implement, and I volunteer, but not until I get a "go" ;-)
Depends. If we only provide the tool, and end users (such as a school) decide what is to put on the "censored list", only one category is necessary. If Wikipedia itself set the content of the "sexually explicit" list, I think we will need dozens of lists. Because clearly not everyone here will agree on what has to be on the list, and what has not to be.
There could also be categories for large groups, like U.S. schools. "Not suitable for U.S. schools"? Or rather "Not Republican approved"? ;-]
And I did not understand the filtering option had been decided really.
It wasn't. I just remember a few mails where Jimbo seemed to embrace the idea of a filtering option for wikipedia.
