I feel this is a measure that the wiki doesn't have to take, and the active chat moderators that we have can take the appropriate measures if a chatter gets out of line. If someone casually swears from time to time? This should be allowed. If a troll comes in and just starts swearing up and down for the sake of it, then he can be kicked, or possibly banned. I worry that adding this could potentially backfire, causing trolls to want to spam other things even more when they find out there is an attempt to censor them. I don't agree that swearing in a public chat is something to be censored unless it goes to an extreme, which can be dealt with. This wiki chat can have a variety of age ranges, not just the very young, and it is the parents of the children that come into chat that should be held responsible if their child is exposed to swearing or not. I have been to websites where there was censoring added, and it was not well received. But, if it is implemented here, I do hope it works out well, and that it will not create other annoyances to overcome.
