User:TheDJ/On tagging and filtering

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a list of possible methodologies that can be applied

  1. We do nothing new, continue to delete obviously illegal material and works with no obvious educational application
  2. A 'first visit' content warning presented to users when they first visit Wikimedia Commons. proposed by Gmaxwell
  3. Inform people about filter systems that their school or individual parents might want to use.
  4. Make media content that is not in use, invisible to 'normal users'
  5. Use our current categories
    • Use those categories to create lists of URLs that organizations might want to block
    • Use dedicated rating categories
  6. Mark images that some consider offensive with NOINDEX
  7. Present people with an "are you 18 years or older" page before they can see 'objectionable' content
  8. We tag pages with something like ICRA tags that can be recognized by external filters (list of external filters used by libraries)
  9. We create our own filtering system alla Google safesearch
  10. We create our own filtering that is even more flexible than ICRAs ratings allowing everyone to block just about anything they object to.
  11. Blur objectionable content and only unblur by clicking it
  12. We limit the scope of Wikimedia Commons to childsafe material
  13. We create some open source desktop filtering software
