Destinypedia:Spoiler policy
From Destinypedia, the Destiny wiki
 |
This page is an official Destinypedia policy. |
This page details Destinypedia's policy on handling spoilers and leaks related to Destiny.
Templates
Destinypedia has four templates used to assist spoilers.
- Template:Spoiler: This template is used when content is not released yet, or when that content is under the spoiler embargo.
- Template:Spoiler/start: This template is used to notify that the upcoming content will be spoilers, and is hidden by the spoiler template.
- Template:Spoiler/end: This template is used to notify that the spoiler content has ended.
- Template:New content: This template is to be used on pages where new content is expected from media.
The policy
Above all, wiki staff get final say on what stays on the wiki or gets removed regarding spoilers and leaks.
Spoiler embargo
To protect the experience of players while allowing articles to be created, articles may not be made for the first 7 days following a content release. Any content that the Administrators have allowed to be posted before a release must also be hidden by the template. Content posted before a release must have at least 5 reliable sources cited to confirm the information. If there are not 5 reliable sources, it is up to the Administrators discretion if the article may be created before the release.
Post-release
- For media that has already released and passed the embargo, information can be recorded as normal.
- Spoiler warnings are not required for this content.
Upcoming works
- Officially released content about an upcoming work is allowed to be added. This is exclusive to information directly from Bungie or Sony, or a public alpha/beta build of a game.
Datamining & leaks
Leaks are not allowed on Destinypedia. Leaks include but are not limited to:
- Datamined content from pre-release builds is not allowed if the media has not released yet.
- Bootlegged disks.
- Random videos or posts with no proof the leak is real.
User profiles
Users are restricted from the following:
- Usernames featuring spoilers, such as "Character X dies", are not allowed. Users in question will be required to submit a new, appropriate name.
- Usernames featuring leaks will be permanently banned outright.
- Users putting leaks or links to them into their profiles.
