Help:Spoilers

The following page outlines this wiki's philosophy regarding spoilers. Note: while most policies are subject to change, the guiding principle is not at this time up for debate. Implementing spoilers would be a massive change affecting a huge number of pages across the wiki and would require moderation efforts beyond our capability.

Guiding Principle
On the Critical Role wiki, there are no spoiler tags. Any material that is readily available to all fans, within reason, is considered fair game. This includes material for which a readily available subscription (Twitch, Amazon Prime) or purchase (comics, sourcebooks) is required. Once an episode has aired on Thursday, even if it is not yet published to YouTube and is only available to Twitch subscribers, it is considered available.

Exceptions
Article titles and ledes (the first blurb at the top of the article) are, within reason, kept free of spoilers. This prevents spoilers from appearing in previews or search engine results. In the case of a potentially unavoidable spoiler in an article title, please use your judgment and do not hesitate to use the talk page to discuss. Readers, be aware again that this is not a spoiler-free wiki, and if you are avoiding spoilers, you may wish to wait until you are caught up.

If material is not yet available to all fans and will become available at a later date, it cannot be added to the wiki until that later date. Some past examples below:

Live Shows
If a live show is taped in advance but will air on the Critical Role Twitch/YouTube channels at a later date (such as with and ), the wiki will not be updated until the episode has aired.

The Legend of Vox Machina
Kickstarter backers received an early access code for the first two episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina, permitting them to see it a few days before it released. The pages were not updated until these episodes were available for streaming to all Prime Video subscribers.

Other
Should you obtain a pre-release copy of a Critical Role publication, by whatever means, please do not update the wiki until the publication date. If publication dates vary by country, please use the United States release date.
