From my experience, this is being made a bigger deal than it should, and by bigger I mean much-much bigger.

You're acting as if the swearing is out of control on this wiki, and it isn't. When I pass by the chat, I see maybe 3-4 or none "censored" swear words, used by chat regulars who "understand the rules" and are not looking to attack anyone.

You can't stop someone who's going to swear at users and offend them. They will do it anyway; however the majority case is a very minor censored expression used by users and no one reallly gets get offended.

This wiki doesn't need to be more professional, because I see almost no one use swear words on the public surface of the wiki unless they don't know what their doing (e.g new users/trolls). The swearing only adds in the chat, and I got to a lot of wiki chats and see swearing there. Those wiki's are just about as professional as this one and it doesn't create any problems either way. So eliminating swear words would be pointless- and is, but this thread certainly doesn't make it seem that way. It's not just a social preference

And if you want to talk about professional: the one good way to fix it is avoid mentioning things like "holy and reverent person who preaches goodness and condemns all those who use profanity to hell- and constantly reminding users and fellow admin-foes that this whole "dictator controversy happened. This also goes to the that still continue to bicker each other in a hateful way because they just don't agree- and that can be seen from this thread, the last thread and so on.
