User blog comment:NOBODY/Nitrome wants to offer the Nitrome Wiki a regular spot on the Nitrome blog/@comment-3060206-20131203084129/@comment-3060206-20131206221828

I'm not positive if a spoiler template is a good idea in this context, since it's more about respecting Nitrome and their work more so than it is giving readers an option whether they want to read it or not. There are also the effects of amplifying the amount of exposure the spoiled content gets before Nitrome releases it that we have to consider. This only tries to promote the wiki as a primary source rather than Nitrome themselves. For this reason, I really don't see how removing such content is "taking it too far"; withholding the content until it is publicly announced lets Nitrome bring back that "element of surprise" they used to maintain prior to this issue, at lack for better words.

I also have reason to believe there is a misunderstanding here. I never said to remove all upcoming and unused content from articles. I'm fine with upcoming content being posted, provided Nitrome is the first to publicly announce this content. This is all. Top that with the whole matter on reliability (Nitrome timestamps their blog posts; their hidden urls have none), and it's still not wiki material.

But note this: I have been talking about the mainspace pages (articles). As in, you could nonetheless allow yourselves to share this content via a blog post or userpage. Although I'm not content with the idea of sharing this pre-released content per reasons above, a blog post has more freedom to add subjective content - and voice your own opinions and assumptions about it. That's far more relaxed than the guidelines of writing in the mainspace.

And uh...

"I agree. We don't even know if Nitrome will use these images as avatars." This is speculation. Do you have proof that everybody on this wiki doesn't know it?

Oh really...I beg to differ. Nowhere does this statement claim that everyone on the wiki doesn't know it. He's claiming an uncertainty; although some of us have our suspicions, we don't know for sure if Nitrome will ever use these "hidden" avatars. You can't get this information just by visiting the image's URL. You can only know for sure when it's revealed. Giving the definitive claim, however, that Nitrome will release them as avatars, fulfills your idea of "a conclusion, theory, or opinion based on incomplete facts or information" (aka speculation).
