Template:Extremist symbol in Russia

Templates to warn people from anti democratic laws in authoritarian countries should not exist. See also the discussion on Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Zionist symbol. GPSLeo (talk) 13:10, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nazi symbols are not allowed in a lot of European countries, including Germany. Calling this an "anti democratic law" sounds quite weird from a European perspective. We have several templates that warn people of potential legal consequences regarding the usage of certain symbols. How is this template different from {{Nazi symbol}} or {{Communist symbol}}? I can see how it would be redundant given that {{Nazi symbol}} exists, but the provided deletion rationale sounds rather wrong to me. Wiki is not censored.

@Nakonana Полностью поддерживаю Вас на 100 процентов, поскольку необходимо учитывать интересы и российских пользователей, а их немало. Ведь к примеру символика украинских нацбатов и экстремистских организаций находится под запретом в России. Такой же аналогичный шаблон есть для палестинской символики, ограниченной к использованию в Израиле и Германии. В обозримом будущем такой же шаблон планирую и для Беларуси.

The problem is that when we create such templates for laws in every authoritarian country we would end up with a large list of warnings under every file. People from these countries know what could bring them to prison, we do not need to warn them. GPSLeo (talk) 22:32, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then what about the other aforementioned templates? Nazi symbols are seen quite critically in all of Europe; it doesn't matter whether they are used by Third Reich Nazis or by modern neo-Nazis, the symbols are equally illegal. If the Russian law would prohibit some absurd stuff (like unicorn symbols for example), I'd understand the deletion request, but here it seems to concern symbols that are prohibited in dozens of democratic countries.

But for that we have {{Nazi symbol}} for more than one decade. And I think unicorn symbols might be banned in Russia but not as Nazi symbol but as LGBTQ symbol. GPSLeo (talk) 00:59, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even LGBTQ symbols are not banned per se, but only in spaces where they could be seen by minors, as far as I know. In gay bars or private spaces there are no issues with those symbols. But as I said in my initial response, I would agree with your nomination based on redundancy to {{Nazi symbol}}; it's just that redundancy was not your original deletion rationale.

Delete but on the basis of being made redundant by {{Nazi symbol}}, {{LGBT symbol}} and {{Communist symbol}}, amongst other applicable non-copyright notices. --Minoa (talk) 05:01, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination, and also redundant with existing templates. --Abzeronow (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Abzeronow: , which existing template can we use for File:III сотня полку Азов.png for example instead of {{Extremist symbol in Russia}} so last one redundant? --Butko (talk) 12:20, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
