Forum:Origin of the spoiler template
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
spoiler policy
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)
- yes, that article. in my case, I want to basically know nothing of the episode, other than what I already have found out by mistake. --***Stardizzy*** 18:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- so, I just went by the article to re-edit it. I edited the appearance list to remove a spoiler from there as a well and I replaced the spoiler warning over the specific spoiler, rather than the whole article. --***Stardizzy*** 19:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Spoiler template
So what should the above spoiler template be called? I don't really want to copy+paste the code every time. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 12:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
