Like, let me try to explain my position. Imagine that, hypothetically, there was in the 60's a popular slide show thingy where you could display a cartoon with a slur in it and it got a rerelease. My perspective is that mentioning the slurs on the BTS is the label on the box, "this has content that may be considered offensive to modern audiences". Short, sweet, and not trying to hide anything.

The version where the pages stay up is like if during the commercial, when they're talking about the slide show, they say, "It also has the n-word"! And it's said not in a matter of informing, but more just in passing. Sure, some people could see it as being honest, but others would (rightly) wonder why the hell having the n-word would be dropped right in the middle of talking about the features.

The template idea would be if the commercial gave a statement about the word in a serious matter, but didn't include the label on the actual product. Like, if the pages stay, the template is a must for me, but it doesn't stop a random user tying in the search tool and wondering why the n-word is there.
