I was wondering, do you think in the future that maybe Terms of Use could have a section or link to a page for expanded explanations on content/files/images and what is prohibited? I'm learning more about this over time from staff explanations and was thinking that a more specific explanation of what should be avoided could help save strife and wasted time on both ends by preventing problems before they occur.

For example: defining what would make stuff 'inappropriate', 'obscene', 'offensive', 'pornographic'. Am assuming 'obscene' refers to curse words, in which case examples of language which is tolerated/banned could be useful. I imagine a lot of words could exist in a gray area where it's not clear what is okay or not. Perhaps it even relies on context (stuff like 'gay' for example) whether or not it's being used descriptively or pejoratively.

I know that there are many dictionaries and laws that define words, but there are always so many variations on stuff like that that it'd be really cool if Wikia'd clarify which definitions they adopt for applying to content. This way people can pre-emptively self-censor to a better degree and lesson the load for Staff.

Also noticed in the history that the last update is March 5 but it only says March. Since there were 6 edits in that month was wondering if a more specific date of 'last update' (ala post signatures) could be added.
