| rdfs:comment | - So, over here a few months ago, there was a consensus formed that officially released material from ABC/TPTB weren't considered spoilers and shouldn't be banned from the wiki. Despite the consensus, however, no changes were made to the policy and no explanation was given as to why the wishes of the community were being ignored. If you honestly think that this material doesn't belong on the wiki, please take the time to read that discussion and then respond, because otherwise we have no reason to leave LP:SP the way it is. 20:34, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

As far as I can see also re: your link, the conclusion was that these were accepted only inside the epi's article, and not elsewhere? - TheAma1 20:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC) But then it was opened back up for discussion where people were in favour of having official material as non-spoilers. Even so, the matieral is still banned from the episode articles so we haven't implemented it either way. 20:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
* When you say "TPTB" material, what are you referring to specifically? Their DVD commentaries for instance? If yes, this is already implemented in the articles (like say the Annie article about how she will be of "seismic" importance or whatever). - TheAma1 20:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Information disclosed in press releases, interviews, conventions such as Comic Con, and the podcast regarding upcoming episodes. Go read the motivation behind the LP spoiler policy. It states that we avoid spoilers because ABC/Bad Robot and TPTB dislike spoilers, but this obviously doesn't apply to things that are released by ABC/Bad Robot/TPTB. Furthermore, I think that we should allow an exception for the ABC Medianet page which keeps track of transcripts for all the press releases. 21:01, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Since we've also been talking about a new spoiler policy on the chat (regarding titles), and the old one seems to be about a year old (as well as the consensus, 6 months old) what about creating a new poll regarding ABC/TPTB stuff as well as next week's title? - TheAma1 21:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Why is it being discussed on the chat instead of on the talk page for the policy? That seems like the better place to discuss it since not everyone checks the chat (myself included). I'm fine with a new poll, though, so long as it recognizes the various subtleties of the problem, which I don't feel the last one did. 22:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC) No we were just discussing this, regarding our own spoiler policy. But since people also seem to disagree with the Wiki Spoiler Policy then we should poll people. - TheAma1 22:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Ah, k, my misunderstanding. 23:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
