Okay I just read through this thread. Let me try to explain a few things

1) This wikia has a "proceed at your own risk" Entering a wiki, you know there might be spoilers. If you decide to go to the recent wiki activity, you might see spoilers. That's something that some users don't seem to get, but that's literally how a wikia works. So no, we will not be making this wikia spoiler-free. Because that is simply impossible. The spoiler board will remain, and we will try to contain all the spoilers in there and people who absolutely do not want to see spoilers will have to learn not to look at that board in the recent activity. Because trust me, no spoiler-board is worse. We put it in there for a reason, and it's gonna stay.

2) However I do get your point about the finale script. I get that those are spoilers you do NOT expect on the wikia. And this wikia generally also doesn't support such spoilers to be released because they ruin the experience of the show, especially for the finale. I'm sorry that they somehow did make it onto the wikia. Recently I have been very busy and I have only been able to jump over to the 100 wiki whenever a notification required me to. Had I been here, I wouldn't have let that finale script make root on the wikia

3) Let me try to clarify what we consider "spoilers".


 * Tweets are rarely spoilers because the cast/writers room aren't contractually allowed to actually spoil anything on there. Livetweets are only a 'spoiler' due to timezones, and in that regard we have always advised people to not visit the wikia until they have seen the episode. Because info (like lifetweets) can be included onto the wikia. I myself have the habbit of edit the wikia during commercial breaks. It goes that fast.


 * Behind the scenes images of unscene episodes are usually contained pretty well, and they don't appear that often on the wikia to begin with. And if they do they're usually vague anyways, so I don't really see a problem with them.


 * Interviews with cast: Yes, I agree that the interview with Marie wasn't the smartest thing but considering O's survival was revealed literally the week later, it wasn't that much of a big deal. Most people knew she'd survive anyways. + That info being out there is on Marie and the people who did the interview, not the wikia. It's not like we posted a dozen links to the interview, so if you found info from it on the wikia I'm sorry but that's part of the 'proceed at your own risk' stuff.


 * Promo images for the next episode... Okay you can't seriously expect those images not to be on the wikia right. If you're complaining about them being there then the wikia isn't for you. Yes, sometimes the promo images will reveal something interesting. But most of the time the promo images are chosen specifically to get people to watch, not to spoil people. They're usually very vague and only rarely spoil anything so no we're not going to filter those.

Think that settles it pretty clearly. Spoiler board stays. Sorry about the script and the BTS-images but that's the risk of being on a wikia. I don't like it either. I'm an admin, it's basically my job to know all the spoilers so I can contain them. Trust me, that's not always fun and games either. I saw the script months ago when it was first released. I had to read all of it so I knew what would be the info that people could add on the wikia which I should stop. So yeah, just be glad it's not way worse. We try our best :)
