| − | For a long time (at least since [https://web.archive.org/web/20060408214700/http://www.xkcd.com/ April 2006]) [[xkcd]] had a warning below the comics, beneath Randall's list of ''Comics I Enjoy'' (and later above the [[footnote]]), which said:
| + | #REDIRECT [[Warning]] |
| − | | |
| − | :Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).

| − | The [https://web.archive.org/web/20160912181546/https://xkcd.com/ last day it was on the page] was September 12, 2016 when [[1732: Earth Temperature Timeline]] was released.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Four hours later that day the page [https://web.archive.org/web/20160912204204/http://xkcd.com/ looked like this] with no footnote or warning.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It was maybe due to the [[1732#Popularity_of_comic|popularity of the comic]] that this warning was removed [[footnote#Removal_of_original_footnote|along with the footnote]] to not scare new fans away.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When a [[footnote#Current_footnote|new footnote]] appeared this warning did not reappear.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The warning thus lasted almost 10 and a half years. Many xkcd fans will likely be sad to see that it has disappeared.
