::{{ping|Kaiforest}} that's a good argument. The problem with social networks is that while they are a good source for us because all these words to describe gender identities are relatively new, they can also be "abused". If we agree on allowing tumblr links, we should try to establish some sort of criteria to be sure that the tumblr blog used is notable in some way. I have no idea on how to do this, though... what do you think about making the abusefilter just to encourage the user to look for other sources and add the warning you say on top of the article? (The abusefilter currently warns the user saying that tumblr is not allowed, tags the edit as "tumblr link" but doesn't prevent the user of performing the action). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 12:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

:::{{ping|NeoMahler}} I think the warning at the top is the best way of marking information from tumblr as less reliable to readers, and people can generally figure out for themselves whether that blog is trustworthy. Figuring out criteria sounds difficult to me, especially since sometimes people coin a word they want to use and otherwise don't post a lot of gender stuff. I think the continuation of the abusefilter while still allowing users to take the action is a good idea, but maybe instead of saying tumblr is not allowed, saying tumblr is only allowed if no other sources are available. --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 15:09, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Kaiforest}} I have updated the Abuse Filter warning, you can see it in [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-tumblr]]. I have also created [[Template:Tumblr links]] and added it to [[Gender neutral titles]] and [[Ambonec]] (I have just restored this page, which was deleted because of that). Feel free to make any suggestion. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 17:22, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
