::[[WP:UPPI]] already indicates that image placeholders shouldn't be used. They
were never used for the vast majority of Wikipedia's history, but some editors
have started sneakily adding them to more and more articles without ever trying
to gain consensus- I've seen them popping up more and more and the burden of
gaining consensus lies on the people wishing to institute the policy change to
bring back image placeholders. I've been having to remove them from articles one
by one for years (ever since they started popping up around 2021) as there are a
lot of them, and never had any objections to doing this until you did so now.
::Personally I think if we were to agree to bring back placeholders, using the
actual placeholders that were used before like [[:File:Replace this image
male.svg]] would be better than using giant text as a workaround.
::If you think placeholders should be brought back then I'd suggest you start a
discussion to try to gain consensus to do so? Starting an RFC on whether to
bring back image placeholders would make a lot of sense for Wikipedia in general
::The centralized TFD discussion was focusing on the specific template and at
first several editors supported deletion, but then some editors rightly pointed
out that editors had also been using hand-coded html to make giant text (which I
had not been aware of), which meant deletion of the template wouldn't have
achieved anything. [[User:Chessrat|<b style="color: #c90; font-family: comic

===Threat response===
===Threat response===
Some species of Pholcidae exhibit a threat response when disturbed by a touch to
the web or entangled large prey. The arachnid responds by vibrating rapidly in a
gyrating motion in its web, which may sometimes fall into a circular rhythm. It
may oscillate in tune with the elasticity of the web causing an oscillation
larger than the motion of the spider's legs. While other species of spider
exhibit this behaviour, such behavior by the Pholcidae species has led to these
spiders sometimes being called "vibrating spiders". There are several proposed
reasons for this threat response. The movement may make it difficult for a
predator to locate or strike the spider, or may be a signal to an assumed rival
to leave. Vibrating may also increase the chances of capturing insects that have
just brushed their web and are still hovering nearby, or further entangle prey
that may have otherwise been able to free itself.<ref name="cirrus01" /> If the
spider continues to be disturbed it will retreat into a corner or drop from its
web and escape.

Although they do eat insects, certain species of these spiders invade webs of
other spiders to eat the host, the eggs, or the prey. In some cases the spider
vibrates the web of other spiders, mimicking the struggle of trapped prey to
lure the host closer. Pholcids prey on ''[[Tegenaria]]'' [[Agelenidae|funnel
weaver spiders]], and are known to attack and eat [[redback spider]]s,

Pholcids may be beneficial to humans living in regions with dense [[hobo
spider]] populations as predation on ''Tegenaria'' may keep populations in
check.<ref name="spiderid01" /> They have also been observed to feed on the
spider ''[[Steatoda nobilis]]'' in countries like Ireland and England.<ref

There is an [[urban legend]] that daddy long-legs spiders have the most potent
venom of any spider but that their fangs are either too small or too weak to
puncture human skin; the same legend is also repeated of the harvestman and
crane fly, also known as daddy long-legs in some regions. This is not true for
any of the three. While Pholcidae are indeed capable of biting humans, their
venom is not medically significant, and neither harvestmen nor crane flies have
any venom or fangs to speak of. Indeed, pholcid spiders do have a short fang
structure (called uncate due to its "hooked" shape). [[Brown recluse spider]]s
also have uncate fang structure, but are able to deliver medically significant
bites.

Possible explanations include: pholcid venom is not toxic to humans; pholcid
uncate are smaller than those of brown recluse; or there is a musculature
difference between the two arachnids, with recluses, being hunting spiders,
possessing stronger muscles for fang penetration.<ref name="ucr01" /> According
to Rick Vetter of the [[University of California, Riverside]], the daddy
long-legs spider has never harmed a human physically, and there is no evidence
that they are dangerous to humans.<ref name="ucr02" />

The legend may result from the fact that the daddy long-legs spider preys upon
deadly venomous spiders, such as the [[redback spider|redback]], and other
members of the [[black widow spider|true widow]] genus ''[[Latrodectus]]''.<ref
name="brisb01" /> To the extent that such arachnological information was known
to the general public, it was perhaps thought that if the daddy long-legs spider
could kill a spider capable of delivering fatal bites to humans, then it must be
more venomous, and the uncate fangs were regarded as prohibiting it from killing
people. In reality, it is able to cast lengths of silk onto its prey,
incapacitating them from a safe distance.<ref name="tepapa01" />
