There be spoilers about un-released stories here.
Run back to the forums if you're scared.

Right, so the example I have is from today and involves The Third Doctor Adventures: Volume Six.

The following would be revealed if you had read Special:WikiActivity at this time:

  • The very fact that a sixth volume of The Third Doctor Adventures is being released.
  • The Third Doctor and Jo Grant is the TARDIS team for this anthology.
  • Winston Churchill as played by Ian McNeice is featured in the anthology.
  • The Daleks are featured in this anthology.
  • The anthology is being released in 2020.
  • There are two stories in the anthology.
    • It is just about legible that the two stories are called Poison of the Daleks and Operation: Hellfire.
  • Although not legible on this example, the cover also states the four main cast members that are featured.

As per Tardis:Spoiler policy, it is forbidden to even acknowledge the fact that there will be another volume of this series in the infobox for The Third Doctor Adventures: Volume Five. It is also against policy to state spoilers in words in edit summaries, even though edits like this contain spoilers in edit summaries. Even if nothing is written in the edit summary for future edits, it would be a violation as the page edited (and therefore acknowledgment of its existence) would show up in Special:WikiActivity.

Is the solution to this a relaxation of our spoiler policy or something else?
