Bad taste
An anonymous user has just brought up at Talk:Telepathy that the allusion to Doctor Who used to illustrate this banner is in pretty bad taste. "We" (that is to say, the voice of the Wiki, asking passing users to comply with what the template says) are… putting ourselves in the place of the racist schoolboys bullying & degrading Martha? Why? It's nothing horrid, but it's a bit tonally jarring. Could we find some other, less loaded line to use as the tagline of this template? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 15:23, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
- Honestly, I have never considered this before but I see why it's a problem. My first thought for a potential replacement would be something to do with Paradise Towers. The caretakers from that story must have said something applicable that we can paraphrase along the lines of "No lists here, follow the proper procedure please"?
