I don't think that swearing really has any place in documents that are intended to display objective information.

The Wiki as a source of information from players would best represent itself without swear words at all. It's just more "professional..." (Quotes used because the objective of the wiki is not to make money, but you get my point.)

All that said... the "life" or "energy" of the Wiki is really bound up pretty tightly to the community and participation of the individuals that contribute. The game is fun and exciting but also sometimes frustrating. These expressions of the community are pretty fundamentally important in the appropriate places. You might see that restricting the expression of the community supporting the Wiki could very well suppress participation.

I'm really not stating anything that anyone who's given this any thought hasn't considered... maybe I'm just expressing that an overly tightened noose on expression in comments could have a community-limiting effect.
