[WikiEN-l] Can we think about trying the "show" solution?

You've completely missed my point. I didn't say "How long will it take
for someone to add show/hide tags to [[Clitoris]]?" I said "How long
will it take for the *edit war* to start on [[Clitoris]]?". I'm not
making a judgement on whether or not the images should be hidden, I'm
pointing out that without a policy, we're going to get edit wars, and
those *are* inherently bad.
