User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-44988386-20200723212537/@comment-1432718-20200723220413 Tardis:Spoiler policy is very strict about what we allow for a reason: to allow as many people to visit the site as want to. This means allowing people who want no spoilers (it goes without saying I'm talking about unreleased stories) the safety of not encountering spoilers on the site.

So much for reason 1 of the spoiler policy. Reason 2, as a technical reason, means this thread will be closed without any policy change. As pointed out at Forum:Why we sometimes protect article creation: the curious case of Dorium Maldavar, sometimes information about upcoming releases is changed once the release comes out (see also Talk:The Vampires of Venice (TV story)/Archive 1). It saves a lot of work to not have to change links and move pages due to this kind of thing. That's a second reason for our strict spoiler policy and waiting until something is released before making pages.

And as User:TheDarkBomber pointed out, the stories cited in the original post are actually series, which are currently allowed to exist under Tardis:Spoiler policy.
