Forum:SH Archive/The Spoiler policy

lost.wikia.com has a spoiler policy that I think should be adapted here. Their policy is '''"LOST is a show based on suspense and surprise, with nearly every episode ending in a cliffhanger. Because of the encyclopedic nature and scope of a project like the LOST Wikia, this may pose a problem for many visitors who've yet to view all of the episodes. LOST has begun to air all over the world and some countries may not have seen all of the episodes, let alone any. The policy at the LOST Wikia is that information from any episode that has had it's first airing anywhere in the world is fair game for inclusion on this site. Currently, this means 9:00 P.M. EST in the United States and Canada on Thursdays, (However, information may be added if the episode airs earlier at a special time, or on a special day that is prior to Wednesday at 9:00 P.M.). The only pre-aired information that may be added is the title of the episode to the main page for reference purposes, a summary and guest list will not be added. Viewers watching the show at later dates or times are cautioned when browsing this site, again, because it will contain spoilers. Spoiler warnings are NOT given for already aired episodes. In general, information from unaired episode is not to be included on the LOST Wikia. "'''

What do people think of adding a part of the Lost Wikia policy here. Specifically the part not to include any form of spoiler on any page if the product is not yet officially released. We have been doing that a lot lately with people getting their hands on a copy of a book early. The latest example would have been not adding anything about Revelation until it was officially released on February 26, Their were major spoilers on Gilad Pellaeon's page as early as February 8.
