Template talk:Nsfw

‎ Readers have reported that NSFW art harms the user experience

User:Descriptivist removed artwork from lashunta, Castrovel, and shotalashu in November 2024, and from velstrac and {{Velstrac species navbox}} in October 2024, with the edit summary "‎Readers have reported that NSFW art harms the user experience". No guideline or policy defines not-safe-for-work (NSFW).

I created this template to flag the removed art, in order to warn against its potential future use in a manner that would offend readers. It also categorizes the artwork in Category:NSFW artwork, currently hidden and flagged as a maintenance category pending a more consensus handling of such artwork.

A policy or guideline defining and enforcing this should accompany any further application to artwork. See Project talk:Images as a venue since there are no existing content policies or guidelines that cover the morality or ethics of image contents. -Oznogon (talk) 00:15, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with this decision, especially considering none of the artwork depicts genitals or full nudity. It is official Paizo artwork, has been present on the website for over a decade, shows off no more than you'd see on a beach, and the definition of NSFW is highly subjective.

Does File:Basileus.jpg also count as NSFW? How about File:Ankana.jpg and File:Seoni tattoo.jpg? I can easily see someone considering these examples and many more as NSFW. Regardless, intentionally hiding or obscuring some part of the world of Golarion goes directly against the purpose of the PathfinderWiki. --Rexert (talk) 00:38, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

I'd suggest discussing the policy implications at PathfinderWiki talk:Images. I left this comment primarily to explain the template's existence and point to the discussion about whether to define this, and if so, how. -Oznogon (talk) 02:10, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
