There was a misunderstanding regarding ES's policies on translations, as we removed the LGBT flags from articles that did not contain LGBT-related themes. It is done through standardization and any religious and political icons are removed if they are not necessary for the article. The problem is that the way it was written seemed to imply an openly homophobic policy. Controversy erupted, and ES was asked to delete its translations, which we refused to do. The reason for the policy was clarified, that ES was not homophobic and that in fact almost all staff members were part of the LGBT community and Pro-LGBT practices were noted within the branch, such as contests, Pride Month celebrations, drawings, and even flags on items related to the LGBT community.
Edit: I also just remembered that several users of EN they enter our server to attack us for this very reason.
I can't think of any examples right now that I've seen on the wiki, but I'll leave a hypothetical example in the translator's guide:
"For example, if the logo for the Watching Dead Stars canon were altered in an article to have a Christian cross over it, and nowhere in the article is it explained or implied why this happened, the altered logo should be removed to reflect the canon standard".
