[[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] and I have had an extended [[User talk:Gboyers#Michelle (IV) Protection|discussion]] about how to "protect" users from finding out about the [[Karen]] spoiler. We have decided that the [[Michelle (IV)]] page should remain protected for the release of the [[PC]] version so that new users that don't know about the situation don't place Karen info on the page. The problem that arises with that is that users that don't know about the Karen spoiler ''can'' still read the [[talk:Michelle (IV)|talk page]] (the place that new edits MUST be posted for an [[admin]] to put on the page). We are in hope that users will see the line that says: ''"For spoiler discussion see [[talk:Karen|this talk page]]"'' and know to post Karen info there. However, in case this fails, Gboyers agrees with my idea that if staff could all keep an eye on [[talk:Michelle (IV)]] and move any Karen info ASAP, and inform the user who posted it, that hopefully we can keep accidental viewing to a minimum. (BTW, Gboyers stated that although this isn't the usual thing to put on the SN, he agreed to put it here on this occasion). Thoughts?

:I didn't state that at all - it's the perfect thing to put here. I meant that we wouldn't normally cause such a fuss over a talk page containing spoilers. Usually you read a talk page at your own risk - for example, if we discussed things that got deleted (eg swearing), the discussion surrounding that usually stays on the talk page no matter what. We can't go round cleansing things, but keeping an eye on it is probably the best course of action for this one.[[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 10:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
