Help:Spoilers

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

This page is a proposed policy, guideline, or process for A Wheel of Time Wiki

The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption.


It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with [[project:style guide]]. (Discuss)
(Either the stuff about reincarnations should be moved here, or this page should be merged into a new ==Spoilers== section there)

As complicated as the Wheel of Time universe is, there are frequently things that come to light which can completely change the way you look at a character or a situation you read about before. In order to preserve that enjoyment for readers of this wiki, we would like to utilize spoiler warnings for newly released material that comes to light.

[edit] Guidelines

With Knife of Dreams having been out for several years now, no active spoiler tags are necessary for any material from the eleven main sequence books, New Spring, or the Big White Book. The Gathering Storm-related material (including the Prologue and Chapter 1, which have already been released) should probably get spoilers until the paperback edition comes out.

An exception that we are currently using is preserving the secrets of characters whose very name is an alias for their secret. Several Forsaken came into the story this way, and their aliases are stored under soft redirects.

[edit] Usage

Spoiler tags should go before the part of the article (or at the start of the section) which will reveal the information.
