Adjustment needed to recent change

This was recently added:

Content that expresses the view that sexual or romantic relationships are not harmful to children.

It's missing a couple of words and should read:

Content that expresses the view that sexual or romantic relationships with adults are not harmful to children

Otherwise, a statement that a romantic relationship between two 15-year-olds is not harmful would be in contravention of policy; that flies in the face of common sense. The problem the WMF is trying to address is advocacy for adult-child relationships, which should be against policy as they are indeed harmful. Ganesha811 (talk) 14:52, 8 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Ganesha811, I've made that clarification. JSutherland (WMF) (talk) 03:27, 14 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
