<p>A month ago, Wikia announced a parent filter that could be installed on entertainment wikis such as ours.

http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:ParentFilter
http://metalheroes.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:ParentFilter
</p><p>
Despite the name, its function is to inform parents of the content in a certain franchise in a short summary rather that scour the entire wiki to learn about it. Giving it ratings, stating the content in the media in question (sex, violence, drug use, profanity etc.) and labeling the media by category. (video games, movies, TV, comics)

</p><p>I made inquiries as to how it works and if a custom template can be made for our wikis so we can use it to inform parents of budding otaku as to what their kids are into.
</p><p>The administrative staff can chime in their questions and thoughts on it in the above link and you can discuss below.

It seems that ParentFilter was moved to ParentPage but they forgot to remove the info from ParentFilter.

<p>Huh. Never thought this thread would ever get a reply..
</p><p>Well what are your thoughts on it? Do we need one for the wikis or not?
</p><p>I think it would be beneficial to the wikis and parents.

<p>This wiki, yes, the others, not so much. All of Sentai, Rider and Metal Heroes is targeted to kids, but some shows we list here on Tokupedia are not.

<p>There still are moments in the shows that western audiences would find inappropriate for thier kids to watch. Jetman is one good example, alcohol, smoking, scenes of death and blood, Scary imagery. Same for Kuuga, Agito, Amazon, Shin and Ryuki.
</p><p>But I guess we could use Tokupedia as a catch-all for the wikis themselves and tell parents what is in each series...
