You can always take it to YKTTW. Works Pages Are A Free Launch, but you can still use YKTTW if you need to.

That said, it bears mentioning that the content policy is about more than just "Porn Without Plot". Even porn WITH plot can be deemed unacceptable if it's too racy. Also, linking to NSFW material here is considered bad.

EDIT: Just so we're clear, I don't know if this would be acceptable as I've no intention of reading it, but so you know it being mentioned on trope pages is not necessarily an indication that it is acceptable. Even the worst stuff can still be mentioned as long as it's a valid example and you don't go into detail about any of the bad parts or try to link to it.

Well I hadn't actually planned on getting into the bad parts anyway. Believe it or not, I'm actually not much of a fan of porn at all. I really do hate it. The only reason I want to start a page about Mekko Rarekko is because even though yes it IS a R-18 doujinshi, it has a very depressing plot to it. I wanted to create the page to focus on the plot and try to avoid focusing on the "bad stuff" as much as possible. So I might still create the page but as I mentioned I will do my best to avoid talking about the bad stuff. I really don't like porn much at all.

Also I had forgotten about that part for a second and I have removed the link

It doesn't matter if you want to be useful to someone. There's no such thing as a life worth throwing away!

I believe that if a Bleached Underpants version of the work exists, you're allowed to make a page for it. It lets us keep works that otherwise would be P5-banned.

I think. Go to the Content Policy Discussion forum and ask about it there before doing anything.

As Karxrida writes, you can ask in the Content Policy Discussion forum. That's much easier than starting a YKTTW and chances are the YKTTW discussion will just point you there anyway.

↑↑ Re: Bleached Underpants: You are correct. For example, we have a page on Fate/stay night even though it was originally an erotic game.
