Forum:Spoiler Forum Guidelines

This is the spoiler forum. In this forum, you may discuss developments from unofficially released manga chapters in order to prepare for resulting changes to the wiki by doing things such as ensuring leaked information is accurate and getting a general pre-consensus on more questionable matters. This is the only place on this site where posting content from unofficially released chapters is acceptable.

For more understanding of when a chapter is and is not officially released, see our Spoiler Rules.

Rules

 * Threads regarding unreleased chapters can be made as soon as spoilers are leaked. However, it is advised to wait to initiate discussion until scanlations come out in order to ensure better accuracy and completeness of information.
 * The thread title must only contain the chapter number; e.g. a forum about Chapter 2000 spoilers would best be titled "Forum:Chapter 2000". Do not put the specific topic of discussion in the title in order to avoid having non-spoiler readers see it on Recent Changes.
 * In order to ensure the content of the forum can avoid being seen on the Recent Changes log, as always happens whenever a new page is created, these forums must be created with only the phrase "This forum is to discuss changes relating to Chapter XXXX". You may then edit the forum again after publishing it to make your actual post under a "Discussion" subheader. This will result in no one seeing the content of the page unless they directly go to it.
 * To further ensure no one is spoiled by looking at Recent Changes, these threads are expected to serve as single mega-discussions which discuss matters of the chapter as a whole, and should not be split into sub-sections with spoiling titles. However, if there are multiple discussions of a very different nature occurring, then this rule may be amended as is prudent.
 * Consensuses reached in this forum regarding major and/or controversial changes should not result in a page being changed instantly once a chapter comes out, as discussion must also occur on a relevant outside talk page and forum. This is in order to accommodate users who do not read spoilers. However, unless involved users indicate otherwise, their contributions to discussions on here will almost certainly be incorporated into the "official" discussion.
