Foreign Lostpedia and spoilers

[~Sloth~]

I recently made contributions to the Spanish Lostpedia and noticed that the season 5 navigation template contains the title of the season finale. At first I thought, how did no one catch this, but then I realized that there is no spoiler policy linked to from the Spanish homepage, nor is there a spoiler policy in the Spanish, French, Polish, or Portuguese forums. I know that within two days the finale title will no longer be a spoiler, however, next season, future episode titles may be posted in the wiki or even on the forums due to non-English speakers being unaware of the policy. I don't know if the other Lostpedia versions link to a spoiler policy, but someone really needs to take care of this.

That would be up to each language to enforce their own policies. Spanish/Italian/German/French etc. Lostpedia are ran seperately from the main English one, and so have their own policies and decisions that they make. non-English speakers will only be posting in their relevant language sub-forums, and if they are posting in the English sub-forum, then they will see warnings on spoilers all over the site.

Ignorance of the rules does not mean you are immune from them.
