Minecraft Wiki

If you're going to be mass blanking areas in order to try to keep them "spoiler-free", at least have the consideration to put encyclopedic content in its place. Saying "Seriously, stop posting secrets! lol, you'll get banned from the wiki" isn't at all appropriate for a wiki of this kind. At the very least, you could just put something like "These runes are intentionally kept secret" or somesuch, but again, I don't think the hiding of such information is really the purpose of this wiki. It's meant to have information. Or, you could have moved the spoiler runes to a different section, titled it something like "Secret Runes" and then explained that they're supposed to be a secret and that it's encouraged that players try to figure them out themselves, rather than simply reading them on the wiki. And then all the earlier mentions you can just put a link to the secret runes section. JC 22:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

See his reply here: User Talk:Taggedjc :To respond to this response: So what if you didn't add those comments? You should have blanked those, too. Reverting it to an unencyclopedic state is even worse. You should have reverted it to the last edit that contained none of the spoilers you so desperately want to avoid having, but also didn't include such stupid comments. In addition, it should be easy to realize that anyone can check the History of the page and see the runes therein; it's pretty much impossible to prevent the knowledge from getting out now. :) JC 23:01, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Runecraft

If you are reverting a page back to another with someones comments you are fully taking responsibility of what is said in that revert. Reverting the page to "STOP SHOWING SECRETS" is no different from you posting it, regardless of the origin of the original edit.
