First Strax Field Report
So what's your rationale for starting an article about something that contains a spoiler, however mild, about the 50th anniversary? 00:34: Fri 31 May 2013
 * The only time limit on addressing violations of T:SPOIL is the point when the story is released in full. So if this were 24 November, you'd have a point.  As it's not, you don't.


 * People ask all the time, "Why didn't you say something at the time?" The answer is extraordinarily simple. It's a big wiki, there's a lot going on, and there's no way that any automated process could have possibly detected this kind of policy violation.  I had to simply happen across it.  Which I did today.  If someone went to an obscure page and rewrote it to contain plausible — but 100 percent false — information, it's quite possible that it wouldn't be found for months.  Elapsed time doesn't make the action "okay".


 * This thing is an advertisement for a future story containing behind the scenes footage which mildly spoils the fiftieth anniversary story. And in the same way that trailers about future stories or interviews which contain info about future stories are not allowed, neither is this. The very location around which the report centres is a spoiler. So, it's going bye-bye, and I'm probably going to scrub all references to the name of thing, too. And I'll be locking down Strax Field Report, too. This little series has actually been quite detrimental to those wanting to keep themselves away from all spoilers.  I can think of at least two pieces of information it gave out about future stories: the name of episode 14 and a location in episode 15.  Well no more. It's an advert, pure and simple, and it's not eroding the surprises of the fiftieth any further on this wiki.  01:40: Fri 31 May 2013
