Toggle button to blur/hide NSFW images (Community Wishlist/W522)

View all wishes.

Description

Please create a toggle button that allows readers and editors to blur or hide images depicting nudity/gore/etc.

Readers shouldn't be required to create an account and follow the convoluted instructions at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Options_to_hide_an_image just to hide those types of images when searching the Commons or reading Wikipedia articles.

It can be as simple as (see the images to the right):

This is the default - OFF

When readers switch this on, NSFW images will be blurred

The feature can also include checklist boxes allowing individuals to select specific categories they want included in the filter e.g.,

[ ] nudity

[ ] gore

[ ] images depicting Muhammad

So what one person wants filtered may not necessarily match what the next person wants filtered.
