:May I add my two cents' worth? As Gboyers mentioned, we are ''not'' Wikipedia. In fact, this is the very reason I "defected" from Wikipedia in the first place, i.e. the rules are far less draconian, and people are a lot more friendly (and usually not as anal). But what really got me hooked on GTW is the fact that although we strive for ''encyclopedic'' content, it does ''not'' preclude us to cut-and-dry Wikipedia-style commentary on the games, where all things are aimed at the ''broadest'' audience possible. We are here for ''gamers'' primarily. That means our intitiatives should be geared toward assisting gamers in their gaming experiences, and should educate the general public as a ''secondary'' goal. That having been said, if a major plot development is prominently displayed on a page that someone might inadvertently come across while researching a related part of the story, then it should be taken care of appropriately. I think ''all'' of us need to step back and realize the issue here: a gamer had a plot development spoiled for him/her because of this. Therefore, we, as GTW editors, should remedy the situation.

:I like you, I also stopped editing Wikipedia because the people were mean. While i have had people here Give me messages about my work, they are friendly about it and explain my mistakes, I love Grand Theft Wiki. To get back on topic, I was one of the people who thought the michelle page dhould redirect to here, in fact, im the person who created the page and redirected it. But when Eganio explained the problem to me, i changed sides | |||
Alright, the discussion seems to have stalled, and nothing is being done about the spoiler. I think [[User:KalypsoSig|KalypsoSig's]] ideas on creating a page for Michelle are sound. I have removed the spoiler detail on the [[Michelle]] disambig page. What should be done is this: create a page for [[Michelle (IV)]] the girlfriend, on which '''only''' information about dating her while she's undercover should be present. Then, on [[Karen|this page]], we can keep the appropriate details about her being an undercover agent, and should add a spoiler tag. The question is: do we link [[Michelle (IV)]] with this page, vice-versa, or both? I say we only link the [[Michelle (IV)]] page with this page, which will hopefully eliminate accidental blowing of Karen's cover for someone who still only knows her as Michelle. Thoughts?
