Template:Created too soon/doc

The idea of created too soon is a simple one. Sometimes, our enthusiasm runs away with us, and we start creating pages in advance of what's allowable by T:SPOIL. Remember, our spoiler policy only allows us to create story pages following official release.

Most of the time, pages created by users should just be deleted immediately and create-locked. However, with so many stories being released each year, there are times where you might not notice that people have been beavering away on an article. If work has been ongoing for a while — meaning that there are a lot of interested editors — it may be better to replace the text of the page with this template, rather than deleting the page. It will probably stop enthusiastic editors from creating a "near-duplicate" name to circumvent the block.

Usage
Replace the entire text of the page with then edit- and move-lock the page.
