Bleach Wiki talk:Spoiler Policy

Grammar & Typos
This page has grammar errors and typos. That's one thing. Another would be - is there a policy on spoilers in certain periods of the manga or anime? Like, from ep 200 up or from chapter 200 (just an example)? --Anime Addict 21:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Grammar & spelling issues have been fixed. There is no restriction such as the example you gave. Once it is released in English on a widely available site, it is fair game. All chapters & episodes are detailed on this wiki, and everything is kept as up to date as possible. -- Yyp  (Talk)  22:48, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Update - 8th December 2009
Policy updated about how a user should treat chapters/episodes that have only just been released when they are adding content and details on new fansub & fanscan groups. -- Yyp  (Talk)  22:48, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Official English fanscan?
Isn't that a contradiction in terms? By definition all fan-translated scans are unauthorized and unofficial. RedXIV 07:39, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Merge to Speculation Policy
Similar to what I posted on Bleach Wiki talk:Redirect Policy, this policy is somewhat redundant as there is no longer an anime or manga to spoil and parts of it (the template) were not used even when there was a manga and anime. I don't want to scrap it outright on the (very unlikely) chance that something might ever be released in the Bleach universe again, but I do feel this policy page is rather bloated and can be summarised much better (making it more likely people would actually read it). I propose to condense it to the paragraph below (might be better as 2 paragraphs) and merge it on to the Bleach Wiki:Speculation Policy, renaming it as Spoiler & Speculation Policy. That being said, I wouldn't be that fussed if it was left on its own page, but I think it really needs to be condensed. Feedback on both the shorter version and idea of merging with Speculation Policy encouraged. 20:28, May 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * Bleach Wiki has a strict no spoilers allowed policy. A spoiler is any information (text or pictures) from an unreleased piece of fictional media. Spoilers are frowned upon as they can reveal elements of the story's plot/conclusion/etc and ruin the enjoyment of reading/watching the story yourself. For a wiki, they are also difficult to verify due to the media being unreleased or in the case of Bleach, untranslated by Viz/Crunchyroll or the various unofficial fan scan/sub groups. Bleach Wiki FORBIDS the addition of any material at all from manga chapters or anime episodes (including titles as they can give away details of plot points) until a publicly accessible site releases proper scans of the pages with translations in the text bubbles (manga) or subs/dubs on the video (anime). The information, as insignificant it might seem, might ruin the fun of reading a just-released chapter for others. The only exception to this is on the Spoiler page. Anyone adding spoilers outside of this page (including in edit summaries and the forums/blogs) will have their edit reverted and will receive a warning. Repeated spoiling will result in the user being blocked. Once it is released in English, then it is no longer a spoiler, but if you are the first person to edit, you might want to mention it (with a link) in the edit summary or contact an admin just in case admins have not seen that the scan/sub has just been released.
