Is there anything we can do about stopping people from creating character pages before episodes have aired. We have a WHOLE lot of pages this series which are just first names of characters, like [[Sophie (The Lodger)]]. This isn't particularly helpful because it forces us to go back and put in the full name of the character once the episode has been aired, as had to be done with [[Mo Northover]] and his family. Can we at least get an official policy set against this sort of "pre-creation"?

- We should do. If we link the character on the page, protect it until the time of release I think. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 18:12, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
- I do generally semi-protect/create protect (prevent pages from being created with a semi-protect on the title) all pages relating to any stories of the current series. This stops unregistered/new user.
- I will though add something to the spoiler policy noting that all pre-broadcast spoilers need to be kept to that story's article page or that series' page until broadcast (or something to that effect). --Tangerineduel 12:19, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
