We need to discuss matters on premature page creation. The titles are subject to change and the pages are absolutely bare. The only notable parts are the rumours, which right now, are so little they can fit on the series page. The users against this are mainly ones which have very little edits, users who come and go. They say that it is easy to fix mistakes, but as other users have pointed out, fixing incorrect links can take a whole day, with a bot doing it. I suggest that all pages for episodes more than a month away should be protected from being created. I would like to ask the opinions of others on this subject, but when it comes to the voting, I don't think brand new users, or users who have very few edits should be allowed to vote.

I think this is essentially under discussion at Forum:Pre-Airing episode articles, and also has been discussed somewhat at Forum:Premature character page creation. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 18:26, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

So it is. I knew it had been discussed before... I just couldn't remember where. --The Thirteenth Doctor 20:50, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
