Is it possible that if anyone (anonymous or members of wikihow) write a swear word in an article, on a user page, or in the tips, that the bad word can atomaticly be deleted? I have been helping a bit with the tips and RCP but I always hate seeing swear words.
If you’re seeing swear words while doing tips patrol, you can either edit them out or reject the tip all together. In RCP, they can easily be reverted. Some people test wikiHow by inserting profanity in articles and seeing how we’d react - this is legit. We also have legit articles that happen to have offensive words in them, like How to Play Bullshit (a card game) and Make a Blow Job Shot (an alcoholic drink). I’m not sure if an update will occur to make profanity automatically deleted… IMO I doubt it. If you’re easily offended by profanity, your best bet would be to just skip the edits.
Makes sense. Unless there were exceptions for the articles that use them… I just really like helping with the tips.
