Re: is anyone looking at usability and inclusiveness?

Hi! Here's the thing: creating a checkbox system would require customizing the software far beyond what I'd trust myself with. It's going to be a template much like our current zine/character/etc. profiles, really.

So you upload an image, and copy/paste the template and fill it out, like:

{{image
description=Kirk and Spock, sitting on a tree
fandom=Star Trek: TOS
author=morgandawn
copyright=Uploaded by author.
date=July 2009
}}

or

{{image
warning={{underage}}*
description=Snape and Harry, sitting on a tree
fandom=Harry Potter
author=morgandawn
copyright=Uploaded by author.
date=July 2009
}}

Something like that. Nothing's set in stone, obviously, but that's the idea we started out working with.

* "{{underage}}" being a template that will put a colourful warning box like this on the image page, so that editors adding that image to pages will remember to add it with the proper warning template.
