We could just work within our existing category scheme and add another tab to Special:Preferences that specifies what images you want to see... e.g. if you want to hide sex-related images, you check a box and wouldn't say images in the "Sex, Penis, Vagina, etc." categories. If you're a Muslim, you can check a box so you don't see images in Category:Muhammad. -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
