Yeah, not only have the titles been revealed through the scripts, but the episodes in their entirety — plot, characters, word-for-word dialogue, everything — are available to many people. This might just be about worse than last year's early DVD that released Name ahead of broadcast!

Summarily, as you suggested, I'm now locking series 8 to admin-only status; if you would like something added that has been officially announced by the BBC or any other official entity (see T:VS), please leave a message at Talk:Series 8 (Doctor Who), and one of the admin team will determine whether or not it qualifies addition. Same goes for minor wording/spelling mistakes — let us know on the talk page.

For those wondering why these steps are necessary, citing that "series 8 says at the top that it may contain spoilers", yes that page may contain information about stories yet to be released, but that does not mean we can include information not intentionally revealed to us by the BBC or other relevant players. Even more importantly, this should not have happened. We will not further encourage the spreading of information we should not have access to in the first place.

So if you reveal information about these first five episodes in any way, or upload images of the leaked scripts or of these supposed MP4s, or do anything to reveal unreleased information about these stories before they are broadcast, you will be blocked — same as with the 50th anniversary special, same as with The Name of the Doctor. So just throw the BBC a bone, and don't make the existing problem worse. An official announcement on this subject is soon to come.
