Spoiler
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
- Not to be confused with The Spoilers, a third Doctor comic strip story.
A spoiler is any piece of information that reveals plot elements prematurely. Some people may wish them to remain unrevealed to let them enjoy the source material to its greatest extent, without any previous knowledge of the outcome. Some examples of spoilers would be the death of a major character or an unexpected plot twist.
For information on how spoilers are treated on the Doctor Who Wiki, see Tardis:Spoiler policy.
In-Universe Spoilers
The Doctor once called knowledge of details of his own future "spoilers", and refused to read River Song's diary. (DW: Silence in the Library) The reference was an intentional jibe by writer Steven Moffat at fans who want to know details of forthcoming episodes of Doctor Who before they air.
