Ncuti Gatwa, starring in: "The Daft Dimension"[[edit source]]
Ok, so partway down the closing post, an example of a now-permitted spoiler is the following:
* Regarding trailers, images from trailers can be used on the appropriate spoiler-tagged pages. Trailers and other promotional pieces which constitute original fiction in themselves, and thus would warrant coverage aside from spoilers, can now have pages created about them even before the release of the thing they advertise, but should of course be tagged as spoilery pages and kept out of Lists of Appearances until they are no longer spoilery. (Note that the specifics of this may, or may not, be revised by a future thread geared towards validating some narrative trailers. This would not constitute a T:BOUND/T:POINT breach.)
My question for this is what now occurs with spoilery pages for non-trailer, non-promotional fiction that happens to relate: specifically, Ncuti Gatwa (or "Man")'s cameo appearance in The Daft Dimension's DWM 579 instalment. As of current, the page for him lies at "Man (The Daft Dimension 579)" (due to prior spoiler policies prohibiting spoilers of any kind), which frankly does very little to aid readers, who will simply be left confused at the page calling him "Man", rather than more properly "Ncuti Gatwa" (albeit conjecturally, and not within the main body of text).
I feel that it is important to clarify whether or not this section of the closing post would permit such pages to be located at their proper titles, rather than dodging around spoilers like the bubonic plague. In essence, although not explicitly a promotional piece, the comic features a future spoiler in an original piece of media which ought to be covered anyway (of course, if the page gets moved, there will be 2 tags at the top, {{conjecture}} and {{spoiler}}, but that's more an issue of the wiki's formatting than anything else).
