Because of the accidental early shipment of some series 7b DVD sets to North American customers, it's possible you might know what's coming on Saturday.  But this wiki has long stood firm against spoilers from stories that [[T:OFF REL|have not yet been officially released]].
The [[admin|administrative staff]] of this wiki cannot thank you enough for not posting spoilers about ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'' over the past few days.  We understand that this has put a strain upon some members of our community that really wanted to contribute, but couldn't.  Your sacrifice has made the finalé better for us all.

What's happened in America is ''not'' an official release. It's a mistake.  And everyone's enjoyment of the episode will be increased if we all have an equal opportunity to watch the episode ''after'' the [[BBC One]] broadcast.  That's why this wiki believes that in this unusual circumstance, it's a Very Good Thing to listen to the [[British Broadcasting Corporation]], who have asked us ''all'' to ''try'' to keep information about this Saturday's episode off the net.

We may not be successful, but the BBC have been unbelievably kind in allowing this wiki to even exist.  They have every right to shut us down at any moment.  The least we can do is to help when they ask for it.  So this wiki ''is'' going to try.  ''Hard''.  Which is why we've immediately enacted [[Thread:130517|some unusual protections on some parts of the wiki]].  
 
For five decades, the BBC have given us the show we love. Surely we can give the BBC the next five days.

Thank you for not spoiling things.

The administrative staff of this wiki cannot thank you enough for not posting spoilers about The Name of the Doctor over the past few days. We understand that this has put a strain upon some members of our community that really wanted to contribute, but couldn't. Your sacrifice has made the finalé better for us all.

The unusual protections we've enacted this week will begin to melt away at 19:00 UTC. If you're still having problems on the wiki after 21:00 today, please send a message to CzechOut, Shambala108, Mini-mitch, Tangerineduel, or Doug86.
