The lead doesn't "stand on its own" if it omits content that makes up half of the article. In the article as it currently stands, roughly 450 of the 700 words in the body are given to the plot description, and thus as a rule of thumb, I would expect the lead to spend half of its content covering the plot. It should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points". So the most relevant guidance is then " Subsequent paragraph(s) should summarize the major points of the rest of the article", and WP:LEAD agrees: " The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. The guideline doesn't mention plot summaries, so we shouldn't draw conclusions either way – it neither prohibits nor encourages inclusion. First of all, the guideline seems mostly to be referring to articles about television shows rather than episodes, which I think could account for the lack of mention of a plot summary explicitly. In that case, I still think it should be included, but with different reasoning.
Bilorv (talk) (c) (e) 11:19, 24 September 2017 (UTC) The information was removed by me, not because it contains spoilers (read my position in this Westworld RfC), but because WP:TVLEAD nowhere mentions that a plot summary should be included in the lead. Wikipedia will not and should not alter its goals or violate its policies just to avoid spoilers.
until you have watched the entirety of the show (or unless you do not mind spoilers). While I can appreciate that some fans will be unhappy to have the episode spoiled for them, it should be common knowledge by now that you should stay away from Wikipedia articles, critical reviews, Black Mirror-specific fora etc. The lead section of an article should summarise the main facts of the subject, and the plot (including plot twists and endings) is a key part of the subject.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and it would be improper for us to remove, alter or censor any relevant details from our pages. MarkSewath ( talk) 09:51, 24 September 2017 (UTC) Please take a look at WP:CENSORED and WP:SPOILER. 2 assumptions in Plot section re contents of Kenny's videoĪn opening paragraph spoils the entire episode.
