* Early access to new instalments or related works via a paid subscription (e.g. webcomics or songs released early to Patreon supporters) doesn't count as a release. This differs from normal early access as you can't buy a specific work or instalment -- and payments are intended as an ongoing commitment.

* Any form of early release covered by a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) isn't counted as a release. The usual ContentLeak policy applies to information that's still under NDA.

* Any early access that's strictly limited to a small group such as UsefulNotes/{{Kickstarter}} or Backerkit supporters (e.g. those who pre-ordered the work at a very early stage), without scope for others to obtain the same access, doesn't count as a release.

!!What counts as a release?
* TV Tropes is an international site and we don't use any particular market as a benchmark for releases. If it's available in UsefulNotes/{{Liechtenstein}} but not yet on sale in the rest of the world, that's still a release.
* If the general public can simply pay extra for early access to the work, that generally counts as a release. There may be exceptions when the price is ''extremely'' high and/or early access is only available for a limited number of people. These can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
!!What doesn't count as a release?
* If the work is only made available to an invited audience, or only to those with industry connections (e.g. a screening at the Cannes Film Festival), then that's not counted as a release.

Added DiffLines:
* Subpages such as {{Trivia}}, [[YMMV/HomePage YMMV]] and {{WMG}} can be created for an unreleased work, but {{Recap}} pages must not be created until after the work (or the relevant instalment of the work) is released.

** AudienceReactions ''may not'' be used if the particular reaction is dependent on the full work. For example, BestKnownForTheFanservice requires seeing the rest of the work to know if the fanservice is the most memorable part of it. The same goes for {{Headscratchers/Headscratchers}} -- the work, once released, will likely give an answer to pre-release questions, so there's no sense in creating a Headscratchers/ page before it's even out.
