What's the point of having a laconic for a work that isn't even out yet?

read the reason - has nothing to do with whether it's out yet. if you know a basic summary, then a Laconic can be written from it.

As for the "reason", its vague. could mean anything.

I've never heard anything about works not having laconic pages.

^I too have never heard of that before. Is this actually a policy or guideline that was stated somewhere?

However, I do agree with Arctimon that a Laconic for a pre-release work seems unnecessary.

Works not having laconic pages was policy, once upon a time. Policy has since been changed and this is no longer the case.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

I say restore the Laconic page. It can still be summarized even if it's not out yet.

Can't seem to find anything in the rules anymore, and looks like the original Laconic.Avengers 4 has a few inbound links. Besides, plenty of other "unnecessary" subpages exist because of Rule of Fun. Heck, we don't "need" ANY laconic pages persay.

Turns out Mods have locked it from restoration...
