This page is copying another template that I can't quite penpoint. DELETE. — MichaelXX2

- Looking at our current content warning templates, this one is the first of its kind. We could also use it on the Old Characters Page and the second and third game menus. Keep, though I made this to start with. :P --70.253.165.204 23:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, and you are right, it does model other templates, specifically the uncensored template. --70.253.165.204 23:14, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- If no one else objects or agrees, I'll have this kept on the Wiki by 3:00 UTC. --70.253.165.204 02:48, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- I am strongly opposed to the use of this template anywhere on the site. It gives way too much weight to what amounts to a couple of relatively minor words and themes, and does so by unattractively trumpeting its presence at the top of the article.
