Hello.
We recently finished a long discussion regarding what kind profile pages based on stories featuring sexual content that should be allowed in the wiki:

After reading through the thread, Sannse, a senior member of the Fandom staff, told me that she agreed with the analysis in the following post:
Would any other staff members be willing to help out?

Given this, I think that it would be a good idea to create an "Acceptable content rating scale" page for the wiki based on the above, but Sera is dealing with more important issues IRL, so she cannot do so herself.Sera EX said:I literally just explained this to Numbers on Discord yesterday... There is a fine distinction between a verse with sexual content, and a verse that's primarily, if not all, sexual content. For this purpose I've categorized something called the "Lewd Scale" (named after Saikou obviously).
Let's go through the levels, shall we?
Level 1: Suggestive - These are verses with excessive fan service such as Fairy Tail or verses that have nude art like Shin Megami Tensei. Nothing serious or overly sexual but not exactly PG either.
Level 2: Ecchi - Verses like High School DxD and To Love Ru. These verses have mild sexual content that qualifies for a 16+ (or 17+ depending on where you live) rating. At most you'd get some breasts and some very suggestive scenes.
Level 3: Eroge - Next there's eroge. This is basically your R-rated movie with sexual content. Many early Nasuverse stories, Masadaverse VNs, the Silverio series, and Demonbane all fit in this category. Games like The Witcher could also be put here.
Level 4: Hentai - Finally, we have hentai (nukige in visual novel terms). This is your x-rated **** basically. On a 22 minute episode, 18 minutes are just sex scenes.
We can allow Ecchi and Eroge. We cannot and should not allow Hentai/Nukige for obvious reasons.
We don't need an 18+ rating. Because the first two levels on the lewd scale aren't even "x-rated" and the third level can pass as 17+ since all of the above examples for it don't even have sexual based feats. We'd be warning about content not even on the site.
I think MGQ sits somewhere between eroge and hentai; don't know; not knowledgeable in the verse, but as long as we don't show or explicitly state in detail any sexual content it's fine.
I don't know what the other verse even is.
If you wish, you can incorporate this scale of some variation of it in the regulation.
Would any other staff members be willing to help out?
