I'm not sure if this may be a discussion for the forums, but I was wondering if, instead of listing all the filming on this page only to have to move it later (a very tiresome task which I do not wish to do again having done it with Series 12), could we instead put a spoiler page on the production year page and just put the information straight there? I realise that if people are looking for filming location spoilers, they would come to this page, but the problem is that no one wants to clean the page up after the series has aired and it remains looking like a mess for months.

:All I will say is that I have just seen it being done on upcoming Series since I joined the wiki, and just followed suit. However, I’m not exactly sure how this can be a tiresome task to remove if all that needs to be done is mark all the text you want removed and then delete. —[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:06, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Deletion

It's pretty common the wiki to host articles on upcoming seasons, is it not? For as long as I've been on the wiki's there've articles about each upcoming season. It's also done for audio anthologies. I think upcoming stories is where the release policy applies.

Just my two cents.

There's literally a banner that links to our spoiler policy which explicitly states series pages can have spoilers on them. An admin will remove the delete tag soon enough. Najawin 03:55, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Proposal for filming information

I'm not sure if this may be a discussion for the forums, but I was wondering if, instead of listing all the filming on this page only to have to move it later (a very tiresome task which I do not wish to do again having done it with Series 12), could we instead put a spoiler page on the production year page and just put the information straight there? I realise that if people are looking for filming location spoilers, they would come to this page, but the problem is that no one wants to clean the page up after the series has aired and it remains looking like a mess for months.
