  We have recently shown that a class of counterexamples to (weak) cosmic
censorship in anti-de Sitter spacetime is removed if the weak gravity
conjecture holds. Surprisingly, the minimum value of the charge to mass ratio
necessary to preserve cosmic censorship is precisely the weak gravity bound. To
further explore this mysterious connection, we investigate two generalizations:
adding a dilaton or an additional Maxwell field. Analogous counterexamples to
cosmic censorship are found in these theories if there is no charged matter.
Even though the weak gravity bound is modified, we show that in each case it is
sufficient to remove these counterexamples. In most cases it is also necessary.
