Memory Beta, non-canon Star Trek Wiki

A friendly reminder regarding spoilers! At present the expanded Trek universe is in a period of major upheaval with the continuations of Discovery and Prodigy, the advent of new eras in gaming with the Star Trek Adventures RPG, Star Trek: Infinite and Star Trek Online, as well as other post-57th Anniversary publications such as the ongoing IDW Star Trek comic and spin-off Star Trek: Defiant. Therefore, please be courteous to other users who may not be aware of current developments by using the {{spoiler}}, {{spoilers}} OR {{majorspoiler}} tags when adding new information from sources less than six months old (even if it is minor info). Also, please do not include details in the summary bar when editing pages and do not anticipate making additions relating to sources not yet in release. THANK YOU

Ten ForwardSpoilers (Reply | Watch)

For some reason I am unable to create new talk pages and since this actually involves several related things, I figured this wasn't totally out of place in the forum.

Is there a reason for Template:Spoiler novel to exist? The function it serves can, at least to me, be just as easily served by Template:majorspoiler. And, even if that template is kept a category should be created to go along with it, so we can hunt down the spoiler tags more easily and remove them.

Speaking of removing them, as has been asked elsewhere without a definite consensus, how long should we leave them on pages? When I go through and remove them I only take them off when the source has been out for a year to ensure no controversy. On the other hand, the comments on that talk page seem to suggest 6 months is a reasonable time limit. I'm fine either way, I'd just like to have a consensus and policy established.
