Disclaimers for criminal and terrorist organizations

We've had a discussion about this topic on the Discord server recently, as Eternity Media Group was the first one who came up with this idea. Currently, there are very few pages in this wiki for identities used by terrorist organizations (ETA and Conspiracy Of Fire Cells come to mind), and I guess there should be a few other non-terrorist organizations which have a notable history of violence (like gangster organizations), inappropriate or offensive conduct, etc. which have their own logos. And I believe those originating from propaganda made by fascist governments (i.e Nazi Germany, Empire of Japan, Democratic Kampuchea) should also count. So I believe we should add a disclaimer to most of these pages telling that we do not endorse the actions made by these organizations and companies in any way or form. I guess these pages should also refrain from being categorized (unless released theatrically); for now, I believe adding only the country of origin will be enough.

Support

1. Support, this was originally proposed by EMG, plus I know there would be people visiting those pages that know what abhorrent actions the terrorist group did. And as a person that does, we should have disclaimer templates described here. | (lets play football) 13:35, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

4. Support it's helpful to add the clarification because some might think that we're supporting those groups by adding them onto the wiki. We just document identities, that's all. Compooper (talk) 15:42, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
5. Support I was originally opposed on including terrorist logos on general, but after seeing this solution, I guess this works better. (• USER TALK! •) 15:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
6. Support That aounds fine, but should we have an Ace/Vivi picture on it or would that be too irreverent? If we do have one, what would it be? Sonicfan19198282 (talk) 10:53, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
