::::::Right. THIS IS A STUPID IDEA! Only Admin can edit but when some one else has usefull information you put it on the talk page and nothing happens. On all SJA pages there are Synopsis yet there not added to the page before being protected so for a week or what ever we have a page that has no information why don't we just wait untill after the show airs [[User:Joshoedit|Joshoedit]] 19:16, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

:::::::The idea isn't that "nothing happens," the idea is that putting known pre-airing info on the talk page or forums gives us somewhere to collect and discuss the info before the page is unlocked. After the show airs, the article is unlocked and you or anyone else can easily move that known information from the talk and forum pages into it.

::::::::Heres just 2 soulution. why don't you "lock" the pages when theres vandalsum or an editing war or create the page AFTER the episode airs @ the moment we've got empty pages that are currently created a week in advance some times we have MONTHS in advance. Why should all the info go on the series page when we have specialised pages? [[User:Joshoedit|Joshoedit]] 05:32, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

:::::::::That is exactly as it should work; discussion is fine, but adding to the article is meant to begin ''after'' airing. That's the whole point; future TV stories are not actually within [[Tardis:Spoiler policy|the stated scope of this wiki]], it's meant to focus on what ''has'' aired.

:::::::::So why bother making blank and empty pages why not just wait until airing day to create the page? [[User:Joshoedit|Joshoedit]] 22:18, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
