The Panopticon/Clarification about spoilers policy
Hello.
Perhaps this is a dumb question. But then, perhaps I'm a dumb person.
After reading this announcement about spoilers, I began wondering about 'spoilers' that I have seen around this wiki.
For a prime example of this, take a look at the Asylum of the Daleks page. Right at the top of the article. Third line in, massive spoiler for The Name of The Doctor.
I mean, I understand that both episodes have been already released. And I can understand finding out this info on Clara's character page, that's totally reasonable. But surely for someone who's just watched Asylum of the Daleks, the first episode of the season, it would be a rather unpleasant thing to pretty much have the season finale ruined? I enjoy watching a Doctor Who episode, then immediately afterward checking the Tardis Data Core page to see if there's things I've missed or misunderstood. There's lots of little spoilers for upcoming episodes scattered around, most often in the 'References', 'Story Notes' or 'Continuity' sections.
Are these spoilers ripe for removal? I feel they should be. I've found a bunch of different examples similar to this around the wiki, rather less drastic than the aforementioned example, but seeing that example is what it took for me to formulate this thought.
So, am I on to something? Is this something I should change when I come upon it? Or is it TDC policy that since an episode has been officially released, anything goes with regards to spoiling it? Clarification would be much appreciated.
Regards.
