My Hero Academia Law Book:Spoiler Policy

This is the My Hero Academia Wiki's Spoiler Policy. It describes how we manage and deal with spoilers on the wiki.

What is a "Spoiler"
A spoiler is any piece of information that may potentially reveal plot elements that some people may wish to remain revealed so that they may enjoy the source material to its fullest extent, without having any previous knowledge of the outcome. For example, the death of a major character, new powers or an unexpected plot twist.

We will record all information regarding the series, My Hero Academia, including the progress of events and its results. Please only read if you do not mind the spoilers.

Be aware that by adding spoiler information that go against the policies stated below, you're under risk of having your edits or articles suffer a rollback.

Manga Spoilers

 * Until the chapter is released by a publicly accessible site, that chapter's information is considered to be a spoiler. Until the proper Official VIZ translation is released, it is simply forbidden to add any information from it (including the chapter's title), and the edits should be reverted on sight. The information, as insignificant it might seem, might ruin the fun of reading a just-released chapter for some.
 * If you're in doubt, wait until you see the "Chapter XX has been scanlated" news to appear on the news corner before you add any information regarding that chapter.
 * As soon as the English chapter is online, you are allowed to add information. An English chapter being online means that you can read it, with the images, not just a little script. After the release, you are free to add the sure information on the pages of the wiki (to some extent; see here); we consider that this is clear that the wiki gives information about the latest releases and that the person who will read that article knows that there will be content they might not know.

If a Chapter has Only Just Been Released
If you are adding information from a chapter that has only just been released in English (or if it is likely that other users are unaware of its release), use the edit summary box to state that the chapter/episode is indeed out and state the site where you read it. This will allow others to verify that the episode/chapter is out and that the information you are adding is correct. It will also reduce the likelihood of your edit being reverted and you getting into trouble with an Admin for violating this policy. It is also a good service to let the rest of the community know that it has been released.

Banning Fan Scanlations
Until the official chapter is released on VIZ Media or MangaPlus, terms and titles used in fan scanlations are not to be used on the wiki. This includes the creation of newly released Quirk, character, Super Move, etc. articles and the addition of scanlation terms on existing pages. This is because the information provided by unofficial translations is not always accurate to the official VIZ translation, which this wiki follows, and it saves editors the burden of having to remove unofficial terms from articles to follow the official translation when it is released.

Chapter pages will still be created on the day the scanlations come out (usually Friday), but they will be locked immediately and stay that way until the official translation comes out on the following Sunday.

Further Policies

 * Posting false information or fake spoilers will be considered vandalism. Do not post fake character, Quirk, or Super Move pages.
 * Both images and text can be considered spoilers.
 * The only exceptions to this policy are facts regarding the appearance of characters. For example, should a character that has already been introduced have their hair color revealed in a color spread on a new chapter, you may add it to their article.
