this matters a lot to me because it could potentially ruin my enjoyment of the upcoming stories. at very least, can we use the spoiler template?

spoiler policy[[edit source]]

I just ran across a spoiler in the Earth's Moon article I would rather not have found.

can we not have spoilers to stories that haven't aired? ever?

spoilers for stories that haven't aired in, say the US and Canada seem all right, among other things, bit torrent makes it accessible... but... I don't personally want to get spoiled for stories I would rather enjoy as they unfold, rather than have my surprise ruined.

this matters a lot to me because it could potentially ruin my enjoyment of the upcoming stories. at very least, can we use the spoiler template?

Yes, I suppose we should. And sorry for that (at least it seems like you're talking about the article I created), but most of that info was actually from the website, only the aliens' name was from what we currently know about the episode. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 18:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
