Back on July 19, 2018 User:CzechOut removed the following from Tardis:Spoiler policy:
- This necessarily means that you can't put spoilers into other namespaces and then call them in the allowed spaces. In other words, you can't upload a picture or video destined for the upcoming series page, because this places the spoiler in the file namespace, where spoilers are not allowed. Uploading files also puts them onto every page through the "Recently Uploaded Files" module in the right rail. In a very real sense, uploading a spoilery image is the worst possible offence of this policy, because it adds the spoiler to almost every page on the wiki. Likewise, you can't add a spoiler to a template, or create a category with a spoiler within it, because spoilers aren't allowed in those namespaces either.
His reasoning in the edit summary was as such: "rule is outdated; no longer a Recently Uploaded Images module on every page"
I think this is a mistake, as you correctly point out. Images show up on the Special:WikiActivity page, which many of us use. I will post a message for CzechOut linking to this thread so he can comment.
