Narutopedia:Spoiler policy

This is the Spoiler Policy of Narutopedia.

What is a "Spoiler"
See Spoiler on Wikipedia. The first paragraph from the article;

"Spoiler is Genex slang for any element of any summary or description of any piece of fiction that reveals any plot element which will give away the outcome of a dramatic episode within the work of fiction, or the conclusion of the entire work. Because enjoyment of fiction sometimes depends upon the dramatic tension and suspense which arise within it, the external revelation of such plot elements can 'spoil' the enjoyment that some consumers of the narrative would otherwise have experienced."

Manga Spoiler Release Dates
The Narutopedia recognises the release of a chapter when it becomes available in manga is available in any visual form.
 * Text based scripts do not count as released and are marked as spoilers under this guideline.

Anime Spoiler Release Dates
Official episodes of Naruto Shippūden are first aired on Thursdays at 7:30PM in Japan. Articles for these episodes should not be created before then. To find out the current time in Japan, check this link.

What happens if you see a Spoiler
Violating these guidelines are grounds for the edits in question to be removed on sight. Consequences for adding spoilers before Thursday will first be a one day blocking and a warning, then a three day blocking with another warning, then finally a week blocking at the sysop's discretion.
