Not by adding an example to a YMMV page to tell people not to discuss the leaks. Examples on YMMV pages are meant to document the fandom's reaction to the work, not wiki policy.

The usual method of adding this kind of warning is by a source code comment.

Also: we're no longer using wicks to the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement as warnings to keep things calm.

Also also: the page is currently locked. Like, actually locked, not the fake lock bug.

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

Oh wow. I didn't know it's locked. Well, I'll do use that source code hidden meassage. I understand now that things change for the better.

Also, Internet Backdraft is one of the audience reactions that are No Examples Please, even on YMMV pages, due to the excessive amount of complaining.
