Forum:SH:Reminder of Movie Spoiler Policy for Solo: A Star Wars Story

'Spoilers on this page might be found in the "Page protection" section. Read at your own risk.' Hi everyone, it’s that time again &mdash; we’re on the eve of a new Star Wars film release, so it’s time for a reminder about the wiki’s spoiler policies. There are two key points:


 * Information, footage, images, etc found in official pre-release material (trailers, TV spots, interviews, etc) are allowed as long as the article they are in is marked with the appropriate spoiler template.
 * Information that can only be obtained by watching the film (or reading/viewing leaks from the film) may not be posted until midnight Hawaiian time, which is the latest US time zone, on the day of the US release. Midnight in Hawaii on Friday, May 25th is 3am Pacific, 6am Eastern, 11am in London, etc.

There will ultimately be people unfamiliar with these policies who will be adding information prior to the acceptable time. I have to stress: more and more people are screening the film, so if you are looking at Recent Changes as of today then you are at risk for being spoiled. If you don’t want to be spoiled by articles being updated you may not expect to see getting updates, or don’t want to know plot details, or whatever it might be, it’s time to log off Wookieepedia until you’ve seen the film.

And if you don’t want spoilers, stop reading this forum page now.

If you are comfortable with spoilers, however, then continue reading this section since we’re going to get into page protection which may include spoilers.

Page protection
I’ve seen the film, so there are a lot of pages I know that I can protect until release (like we did for The Last Jedi). I will make an initial list this afternoon, do the page protection, and then post the list here. Once I’ve done that, if you think I’ve missed anything important then please post them here. Please wait until I’ve done that before posting here, though. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:49, May 23, 2018 (UTC)
