    Not sure how this should be handled. Children utilize Wikipedia to an extent when working on school assignments, but they have stumbled upon some extremely graphic content. WikiMedia is not WikiPedia though. Can the WikiMedia domain be blocked on the family filter?

    Thanks for the heads up. We will do some investigation.

    It seems like every image from wikipedia comes from the wikimedia.org domain, so it will be tough to block without breaking wikipedia.

    Very frustrating to see this kind of unnecessary content in there.

    One option we have is to also try to flag those images/posts as a community and replace them with more safer and educational ones to help.

    Any wikipedia user here to help?

    thanks,
