I think we should be more clear about our spoiler policy...

Specifically, our policy regarding information from the Web Edition, which goes far past the current Light Novel.

A user posted some extreme spoiler on the Wooden Sword article, regarding an event that happens later in the story.

I created the Template for something like this. On the Volume 12 article, the content from the novel, which has not been translated (by Tap) are put into a spoiler template, which hides the content, unless you click on "Show". I did the same, regarding the Volume 13 preview text...

I've also used the Spoilers template within the trivia section of other pages...

My point is, we should probably inform people that if they wish to post spoilers, there's a specific way to go about it. I would say, the policy is something like...


 * Light Novels
 * Content that has not been properly translated, and open to anyone, should be posted within the Spoilers template.
 * If the content involves information about the next book, that may in any way spoil information for those who have not read the previous book, due to lack of translations, it should also be hidden. ie: A preview of the next book is released, in the latest Accel World. Translations of what the preview says are available, but the preview is also a spoiler to anyone who has not finished reading the previous book, which is not fully translated.


 * Web Edition
 * Content involving events that transpire in the web-version, and have yet to be published, should remain hidden.
 * Spoilers regarding events that occur to specific characters, or items, should go within that article's trivia section, and placed in the Spoilers template.

How to use the Spoilers template.

Everyone's thoughts? Any adjustments you can think of regarding this?
