Wikitroid talk:Spoiler policy

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

So spoilers don't get marked here at all? If the wiki is a source of information, should it not be one that can be safely navigated by anyone, especially those that want to know about the series before having played through any of the games - if, for example, they are considering buying one, or want help in completing it?

It is illogical to do so, since all pages would be expected to contain spoilers. In addition, please subst: your signature instead of using a direct template, it causes excess server load. --FastLizard4_{ADMIN} (Talk|Contribs|Logs) 20:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Since you are using two templates, I have set it myself to subst:. --FastLizard4_{ADMIN} (Talk|Contribs|Logs) 15:51, 15 February 2008 (EST)

Sorry, I didn't know that was the policy here. I just normally have it like that so that it keeps talk pages cleaner in the edit view. Greenpickle 10:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

That's not the problem, actually. Due to the way a wiki works, the server must translate the PHP to HTML, and parse templates, transclude, work ParserFunctions, etc. When you have templates that are transcluded in many places, it slows down the servers because it must parse that much more. --FastLizard4_{ADMIN} (Talk|Contribs|Logs) 22:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
