How are we going to be handling spoilers for the fourth book when it comes out? When are we allowed to add things to the main wiki without spoiler tags? -- [[User:Strangerface|Strangerface]] 16:29, 23 September 2007 (PDT) | How are we going to be handling spoilers for the fourth book when it comes out?

| + | Well, I have a thought. I don't think that tagging spoilers in the pages itself makes sense, nor does it work with our "encyclopedia" format. They're also likely not to get removed in a timely manner. I think the best way to flag them is to add a spoiler warning to the update field rather than the page itself (in the space for summarizing the page update). This way, those concerned about spoilers can use the [[Special:Recent Changes|Recent Changes]] page to avoid them, but they won't be buried in the text of the wiki itself. -[[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] 19:41, 24 September 2007 (PDT) | ||

The BPW excerpt isn't in the UK editions, I'm told so I thought it would be good to have a summary. It's sort of lacking, feel free to add to it if you have the book.
The description of the bit read by NN comes from my own notes of the event. -- strangerface 17:45, 14 February 2007 (PST)
