::No offense taken. Most new users are opposed to the spoiler policy until they learn more about it. | |||
::We have a spoiler policy for two main reasons: | |||
::* We want everyone to be able to edit on this wiki, and for that to happen, we don't allow spoilers. We don't want to take the tone that some websites have — "if you don't want spoilers, then you should stay away from the site." We are specific about spoilers: a spoiler only counts if the story has '''not''' been released. | |||
::* Everyone makes mistakes, including news sources, and people lie, including showrunners, actors, etc. If we created articles for future stories based on what someone tells us "is going to happen", and they are wrong or lying, we have to change/remove the info. This can be a tedious job, and we avoid it by not including anything in articles unless '''it has already happened'''. (For an example of this situation, you might be interested in reading [[Forum:Why we sometimes protect article creation: the curious case of Dorium Maldavar|this discussion]] — it shows what happens when we create articles based on supposed upcoming events.) | |||
::Thanks for reading this long post, and I hope it explains our policy a little better. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:46, April 26, 2014 (UTC) | |||
