Template:Spoiler/doc

spoiler is for marking real world articles about stories, ranges and series that have not yet been released or broadcast.

When and where used
This template is for use in only one type of article: series pages, such as series 8 (Doctor Who).

It shouldn't go on story pages, because story pages may not be started until the story is officially released, at which point nothing within the story is considered a spoiler anymore. It shouldn't go on in-universe pages, because no material from un-released stories is allowed on in-universe pages in the first place.

In other words, please read our spoiler policy for our definition of the word spoiler and then you'll see that only type of article could possibly bear this template.

This tag should be immediately removed upon the first global premiere of the final story in the series.

How to use
Place spoiler at the top of the page.

Categorisation
This template automatically adds category:contains spoilers to the pages on which it is placed.

Note
This template supersedes both pre-broadcast spoiler and pre-release spoiler, which will be kept around for a while as redirects until their utility naturally ends.
