Spoiler policy

Sorry to start your talk page on this, as it appears you didn't get your welcome message, but we have very strong policies on spoilers regarding future episodes. Please read Tardis:Spoiler policy. We define a spoiler here as anything about a story that's not yet been released, behind the scenes or within the narrative.

Now that we understand this, you posted a spoiler about an upcoming Class episode, namely its name. This is your warning. Right here. Read our spoiler policy.

Also, welcome to the Tardis and thanks for contributing! :)

It's quite alright. We define a spoiler a little bit differently here to most places. Now you know. The BBC could fly a banner across Great Britain on an airplane dressed up in full Fourth Doctor garb, announcing the name of the next episode, or the next actor to play a companion, and it would be absolutely disallowed here except in designated spoiler areas.
You've come across one: it's Series 1 (Class). You'll note the first time you open it, you get a spoiler screen, and have to actively allow it to continue to be able to read the page. Outside of series pages, that sort of information cannot be added anywhere until the new story has been released in its entirety. I know of at least one user who actively edited here over 2013 without once having it spoiled to him that the new Doctor would be Peter Capaldi, despite the massive primetime live event on BBC One. We'd like to always keep things that tight around here.
