"Elf Racism" edits

Is there an official Kitfox policy on how Elves should be represented, as suggested in the patch notes? If so, where is it accessible? As a long-time reader the "D for Dwarf" sections and humour really help this wiki, and the game's community in general, stand out.

it's pinned in the kitfox discord [#df-discussion] but i'll ask if it can be made more public. Su (talk) 14:08, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
All I see is a comment on what's allowed/not allowed in their Discord Server? What all are the terms of the recent Kitfox Sponsorship? Is this wiki still community run or was it actually aquired by Kitfox? Obviously racism that's even remotely mappable to real life is unnacceptable, but DF does run into the fantasy problem of "Inherently Evil" races, and the videogame problem of races=factions. Considering DF is already Medieval Warcrime Simulator, I think maybe a policy of rephrasing existing wiki content rather than removal might result in a better balance of content. Like, calling them cannibal hippies is just accurate, while calling them suck-up jerks or cowards might be going a bit far? More nuanced discussion of specific edits needed.
