What's more important than the content of what Baseball Bugs said, to
me, was the underlying assumption; that there couldn't possibly be any
women around who might be offended.
I'd venture that most people would hesitate to recount a particularly

BaseballBugs has a problematic history at the reference desk. This isn't
the first time he's made sexist comments there.[1] Unfortunately, none
of this context was brought up in the discussion about the block. The

One easy way to fix all of these searches is to create Gallery pages for
these terms. If a gallery page for cucumber existed, all searches for
cucumber would go immediately to that gallery page rather than pulling
up random images.

Creating galleries would mitigate the problem for these half-dozen searches
(though not eliminate it, as users would still have the option of searching
Commons rather than navigating to a Commons page).
But it's like the story of the Dutch boy trying to plug a hole in the levee

Would it be a lot of work to give primary weight in the Commons search listing
order to files included in
