The "Pornstar" and/or "MILF Pornstar" situation is just dumb.
If you look at the revision history of some profiles, you can see a full-blown war over whether a porn actress is a "Porn Star," a "MILF Porn Star," or both a "Porn Star" and a "MILF Porn Star." And it's just annoying, ...
Right out my head, look for example in the revision history of Lola Myluv.
First, i get it, ... not every Pornstar is a MILF Pornstar (and you want a way to filter these) BUT every MILF Pornstar is by definition a Pornstar. The distinction between whether a porn actress is a MILF or not is vague and largely depends on the viewer's perspective. To make matters worse, some actresses start at young age and continue for decades arguable up to a "GILF status". If you can remove "porn star" even though "MILF porn star" is set, this leads to confusion in search results and ideal conditions for pointless edit wars.
In my opinion it is kinda dumb, that "MILF Pornstar" and "Pornstar" are different professions, because they are not. But i would be satisfied if you can't remove the "Pornstar" tag. I would love it if we could find another way for distinction. I would prefer a sulution where there is only "Pornstar" as Profession and you have the option to tag Teen, MILF and GILF as Performances. Maybe you have a better solution, ... but I'd definitely be surprised if I were the only one who finds the status quo annoying.

“Pornstar” should be the profession, while terms such as Girl, MILF, Cougar and GILF could be used as age-based categories or filters instead of separate professions.
For example, Babepedia could define its own clear age ranges for filtering purposes:
Girl: 18–29
MILF: 30–39
Cougar: 40–49
GILF: 50+
These would simply be examples of a clear and consistent classification system. A performer could still be listed as a Pornstar, while also having the appropriate age category based on her age.
For example, a 35-year-old performer could be listed as:
Profession: Pornstar
Age category: MILF
A 44-year-old performer could be:
Profession: Pornstar
Age category: Cougar
And so on.
This would make searching and filtering much easier and would also avoid the current confusion where “MILF Pornstar” and “Pornstar” are treated as competing professions. Every MILF Pornstar, Cougar Pornstar or GILF Pornstar is still a Pornstar. The age-related term could simply be an additional category or filter.
The exact age ranges could of course be adjusted if Babepedia already has official definitions for these terms, but I think separating profession and age category would be a much cleaner system and could help prevent pointless edit wars.
MILF must be the most misused acronym in the world. It's like some guys don't even know what it stands for...
If a woman has no children she's not a MILF. Age is irrelevant.
By the way, the Cambridge Dictionary actually defines "MILF" explicitly as: "an offensive word for a woman who is considered to be sexually attractive and is a mother."
Meanwhile, the Collins Dictionary defines "MILF" just as "a sexually attractive middle-aged woman." So even the dictionaries seem to disagree on this. Now you can pick a side and you can say one is wrong and one dictionary is right, ... But let's be realistic, I'm just going to go out on a limb and assume that the vast majority of people no longer use the term in its strictest sense, and that very few people here on this site bother to find out whether someone is actually a "real" MILF.
Maybe we should just add “mother” as a profession... because whether or not I want to sleep with someone is, again, something very subjective... And "mother" is pretty objective, so there won't be any edit wars and it would be a nice addition to non "Pornstar" profils.
@BigBreastLover There’s something to your idea, though I’m not sure if it convinces me 100%. I think it's not just about the status quo, but also about the past. Ginger Allen, for example, is probably not well known for her more recent films, but rather for her appearances in the 1980s. And how would you handle it when an actress retires?
The pragmatist in me still says that the simplest way—and the one that could certainly be implemented with the least effort—would probably be to simply add a "Mother" profession and a "Play Age" category (like with actors and their sedcard, hopefully someone has a better name than Play Age) under "Performances" with your categorisation. Maybe i would add Teen and call it done, ...
Gabbie Carter is 26 and has a child. MILF.
How MILF became more about age than actual parental status is beyond me...
