Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

Linking directly to NSFW images is forbidden.
Linking to SFW images on sites that allow NSFW material is permitted, but it is recommended, yes, to add a NSFW warning.
That's what I thought, I added a warning but it was removed so I was wondering if I should put it back up
It would normally be edit warring to do so, but at this point it should be fine so long as you refer back to this thread in the edit reason. If it gets removed again, then it will need to be escalated to the mods.
Placing an NSFW warning for any links to DeviantArt would be overkill, as the site contains way more content than just that (and has an filter that you have to register to get through, if I remember correctly). If the specific artist has such content on their own page, though, then yes, a warning might be warranted. Note that "racy" is not necessarily NSFW; there are degrees of this sort of thing.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Yes, if an image on DA is labelled as "Mature," you have to register to be able to view the actual image.
That was my concern it'd be an edit war so i took it to ATT for a second opinion, maybe a simple "note " would be better than a "WARNING?!?!?! "?

Just put NSFW in parentheses next to the link.
Ok thanks everyone!
Would it be okay to add warnings for links that could be potentially NSFW but nothing explicit?
I would like to add an example to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate under Hilarious in Hindsight that involves a link to deviantart (You can already tell where this is going) and the link contains some....fetish art. Would it be ok to add a warning for any readers who might click the link as it could squick people if they're not prepared or into it?
Side note the picture itself is fine but the users page contains some racy art so would it be appropriate to post a link with a warning, just the image itself (which I'm hesitant as it doesnt give the creator credit), no link at all, or just axe the example altogether?
