This page is an official Halopedia policy
Please read through the policy below to familiarize yourself with our common practices and rules.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or complaints, please post them on the talk page.

Template:Policies Halopedia's Spoilers Policy is as follows:

Guidelines

  • The Spoiler Policy only dictates the inclusion of campaign/novel/etc. plot information, not multiplayer. However Halo: Reach is a special circumstance as the campaign, firefight, and multiplayer modes share maps.
  • No spoiler content whatsoever will be allowed onto Halopedia until the day of the official launch for a major release (i.e. games, films/shorts, and novels) in North America, Europe, or Australia. However, this will still exclude official information released by Bungie, 343 Industries, and Microsoft Game Studios.
    • It should be noted that the Spoilers Policy allows "official information", which is essentially content released officially and directly from the publishers and developers, but restricts "official press", which is content released by reputable news source.
  • Starting from the launch date to a months time in advance, the hide spoiler template will be used for those who still haven't had a chance to purchase the product; while those who have bought it will be able to freely edit the wiki, albeit with restrictions as per above.
  • Information officially released by Bungie Studios, 343 Industries and other Halo developers before the release date will still be accepted.

Violation

  1. Violators will be given one official warning on their talk page. If there is noncompliance, the user in question will be banned for a week-long period.
