MOS:CENSOR

This page documents the Official GTA Wiki Manual of Style on censoring content.

Formatting

While GTA Wiki is generally not censored, certain words and types of content must be censored to comply with Fandom Terms of Use and Fandom Community Guidelines. This is not by choice of the GTA Wiki Staff.

Words

Derogatory terms, phrases or words, such as sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic and some stereotypes must be censored. As expected, there is no official list on which terms are not permitted on the platform, but editors will know if they encounter one on an existing page revision as the Spam filter will prevent a new edit from being published unless the term is removed.

According to the Offensive Terms Policy, the following four words are not permitted:

The n-word - As a racist term directed to a person of African descent.
The c-word - As a sexist term directed towards women
The f-word - As a homophobic term directed towards members of the LGBT+ community.
The r-word - As an ableist term typically directed towards individuals who have a mental disability.

This also includes any variants of the word (such as ending them with "-ed", or shortforms of the word).

While censoring these words with a single asterisk (*) bypasses the Spam filter, it is requested by Fandom to heavily censor the word; censoring all letters bar the first letter of the word (for example, the c-word would become "c***").
