Increasingly MediaWiki Commons is having to deal with a wide range of
culturally sensitive issues. Schools around the world are blocking wikipedia
and wikimedia due to what some call pornography.

We used to happily ignore any censorship issues other than US law. However the
educational reach debate, as well as for instance local legislation (think the
recent case about Wolfgang Werlé and Manfred Lauber and how the editorial
German community dealt with that), are making it increasingly clear that as any
major website, we probably need a better solution, that allows for a more
targeted approach.

We could potentially use the ICRA tagging system as suggested before.
http://www.fosi.org/icra/. Apparently ICRA is rather widely supported by
filters around the world. (Says Tim Starling)

This system would include a head element that lists a link to an RDF generator.
That RDF file would include the ICRA rating of the page itself (if we would
want that) and the ratings of the images included in the page, setting a rating
for those images and blocking their urls by using the hasURI regex of the ICRA
system. (http://www.icra.org/vocabulary/ a list of supported labels)

This tagging could be stored in the page_props table. It could be entered
either by a magicword, or trough a dedicated interface (with so many labels,
that might be useful).

If needed a mediawiki filter system could be developed as well, but that is
considerable more work of course. Perhaps there are organizations that would be
interested in sponsoring development of such work ?
