'''You don't need to self-censor for neutral wording''' when editing Emugen Wiki.<br/>

Keep in mind that [[Special:ProtectedPages|some pages]] on {{SITENAME}} (such as the [[Main Page|front page]]) are restricted to only edits by autoconfirmed users to '''prevent vandalism''' and edit warring. In order to become autoconfirmed on {{SITENAME}}, you must have an account that is at '''least 2 weeks old''' and that has made at '''least 20 edits''' to the wiki. In addition to obvious vandalism (spam, blanking, nonsense edits), attempts to force ideological changes (such as systematically censoring derogatory or taboo language or removing "factual but controversial" information) can be treated as disruptive editing or edit warring ~~by other wiki users. Such edits are~~ typically reverted ("undone") by the community. Any revert or undo inherently suppresses one version of the content in favor of another, so it can reasonably be viewed as a form of censorship in the broad sense / dilemma (preventing information from appearing as edited). However, on this wiki, such actions usually aim to enforce stability, verifiability, and resistance to personal/ideological agendas rather than bowing to moral panics, activism, or external pressures. The Emugen wiki community typically appreciates direct language without forced self-censorship. This anti-self-censorship stance exists to prioritize the unfiltered, accurate preservation of emulation knowledge over unending sanitization. Always discuss contentious changes on the talk page first instead of edit warring.
