{{BebopKate|text=Alrighty...so just plot information.  I can certainly get behind that.  The six month was a rule I borrowed from a forum I frequent, but if everyone thinks that excessive, again, that's fine by me.  Just remember not everyone here can or will be able to get hold of the game right away, and we want to give a fair chance for them to play without ruining it for them.  Also, remember not everyone comes to the wiki pages through the front page; a fair number of visitors come from off-wiki links and search engines, and so may not be aware what they're getting into.

The strikes are not for those who want to add info to the wiki, it's to keep people from abusing it.  I can easily see (and have seen, actually) people posting unmarked plot spoilers in articles or threads just to be nasty, kind of like that whole "Snape Kills Dumbledore" thing from a few years back.  The way I see it, most people who are actually editing to help may not be aware of the new policies; a polite warning will let them know what's going on and that will be the end of it.  I seriously doubt it will come to strikes with anyone, but I'd rather have a policy here and now rather than have to throw something together should someone decide to be a prat.  Since we'll rephrasing other things, I work on rephrasing that as well.
