I made this account because I was victim of censorship from totalitarian people who think that they own language and can wield it the way they see fit. So I can't contact any moderator until i "participate in discussions more". So this is a way for me to participate in a discussion.
I know this is not the place to discuss Wiki-related problems, but this is more of a way to contact those moderators here who have access and can be contacted from here. What happened was, the top editor from Keshi.fandom.com (the biggest Wiki of kenshi so far, that has moderators from both websites), Jellyfish09 (https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/User:Jellywish09) has censored my ability to post for three days for "deleting content", when all I did was correct a language shift of tongue that is happening in several articles of the wiki. Explaining with a simple example:
Here's the page for Agnu: https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Agnu
Here's the page for Tinfist: https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Tinfist
Why the grammatical reference twist in both? It's simple, the top contributor is a self-described "non-binary" totalitarian politics-driven person that does not accept uniformity that is not of its liking (yes, I can use "it", since the pronoun is used for anything not "he" or "she", according to English grammar rules). So I urge anyone that sees this thread to not cave in to political correctness and to fix this issue ASAP; Skeletons are a race that use "it" or "he", and the usage of "they" for anything in English is not official and only used in very specific academic circles that can be best described as political bubbles.
This is a very small and singular issue, but time and time again has been proven that if a stance is not taken, things tend to get worse and worse.
Kenshi's Fandom wiki
Sorry, but no. The singular they has been used for centuries, and was first spotted in writing in the 1300s. And has been fairly commonly used ever since, despite people like yourself who insist it shouldn't be (who only really started in the 19th century). Language however is defined by the speakers, usage and meanings change over time, and through common use become the new normal. So the page is perfectly acceptable, whether you like it or not.
As for your blocking on the wiki. You went and broke a template in your vendetta against a word. And appear to have deliberately edited the article in order to bait a reversion, as evidenced by your comment at the same time. If you have a problem with how things are done on the wiki, you can create a discussion about it without vandalizing the page in question. Wiki's are, by rule of the terms of service, a community project. The way you get change is by actually engaging the community in a civil and mature discussion, not sabotaging the work they've done.
