I've noticed that upcoming audios do not have spoiler tags on them. They really should shouldn't they? I don't want to use the pre-broadcast spoiler tag on them because it says episode. Do we have one for them, or can we just alter the tag so that it says "this episode/audio drama/novel/comic has not been released yet". The Thirteenth Doctor 12:19, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I suppose we can/should have one.

We should have a separate one, just as for the episodes the point of release is when it's broadcast but for others it's when it's published. --Tangerineduel 12:47, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

=Template:Pre-release spoiler=

Should I create different ones for novels and comics as well as audios? --The Thirteenth Doctor 12:58, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Never mind, there is already one here. --The Thirteenth Doctor 13:00, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

I've just created/altered the current one to this Template:Pre-release spoiler.

They all don't need special spoiler warnings as they all are either released or published.

I can change the wording in of the text and add an optional field to it so instead of "this page" it'd when typing the template it'd be {{Pre-release spoiler|novel, comic book, audio story, etc}}, but I'm not sure if that's necessary. It also adds an extra bit of unnecessary complication. --Tangerineduel 13:12, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Archivist's note

Advice given above no longer applies. The only spoiler template which survives is {{spoiler}}. It covers all sorts of spoilers, even though our spoiler policy doesn't really allow too many such pages to even be created. It all needs to be streamlined so that the new spoiler warning javascript system will work smoothly.
