What about our fanmade epic rap battles though? If certain words such as the n-word appear in them, is that a problem? Do we need some sort of "Explicit language" warning? Obviously not talking about constant characterless spamming of the word, but if the character would generally talk like that. Yeah, this is something I'd also like to hear discussed. A lot of users here write their own fan-made battles, rap songs between characters that more often than not have some profanity in it. Certain users really like being in character for their battles, and said characters may use such language that is not appropriate. In any scenario, these battles are almost always between fictional characters or fictional versions of real life characters, and are not used to actually insult other people. I think you mentioned this briefly in the Joeaikman thread - "An article about the lyrics to a song (on a wiki about a related topic) would potentially be okay, but just randomly mentioning those lyrics in a wall post would not pass muster." - but hearing a more specific ruling like this would be nice.
