Ah. Okay. I definitely see the relevance, but don't see precedent. Rather it looks like a discussion that just shows the necessity of having a larger discussion here. We should definitely ask everyone present to contribute to this thread though - I don't think I've ever seen User:LauraBatham comment on a forum post and this seems relevant given her involvement there.
Edit: Just to further explain why I don't think the Arachnids "take personal responsibility and don't go on pages where you know you'll be upset" principle can be the general rule of thumb, let's just go with the most obvious example imaginable. "Oh, I'm a classic who fan and have experienced sexual assault, my favorite companion is Dodo Chaplet, and dear lord what is this on her wiki page?" Sometimes you literally cannot know that there's going to be upsetting aspects on the page you're visiting. And, of course, the wiki is staffed by volunteers, so it's not like we can force anyone to do this. It's just whether the benefits of having the ability outweigh the negatives.
