Talk:Aurek Roderic

Artwork

There is artwork for this character and I have placed it in the infobox. I have also commented it out as its nature is a bit of a spoiler. The original blog post here revealed nothing about the artwork. I have not read the text and won't, so seek guidance as to whether the art should be revealed. --Fleanetha (talk) 18:43, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

The "Images of Aurek Roderic" link in the infobox still gets people to the image should they really need one, so I don't see a rush to include the image in question on the page for now. We can revisit later. -Oznogon (talk) 18:54, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Very wise and like the new category. --Fleanetha (talk) 19:00, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

An update that, on 2 August 2019, HTD placed a spoiler in the Race part of the infobox, in line with the image, though it is not explained in the text. --Fleanetha (talk) 14:18, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Since the spoiler's been in there for two years by someone who won't discuss it, and no admin removed it, I just showed the art. -Oznogon (talk) 06:25, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I still haven't read that book. There's a spoiler banner on the page, so there seems little discussion to revisit any more then, so removing category. -Fleanetha (talk) 16:34, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

If that spoiler genuinely mattered, it would've been removed after it was posted in August 2019 just as the art had been. It wasn't. Every search that leads someone here for more than a year surfaces the spoiler; the art won't change that.

It's also been made clear on this wiki that in practice, regardless of policy, discussion is ineffective and disregarded without consequence. Spoilers matter so little that editors are encouraged to break street dates to spoil content if they have privileged access to content. A piece of back-cover art posted two years after the book's publication is a relative luxury. And you know quite well you and I are the only people who'll ever both see this discussion or care that it occurred. -Oznogon (talk) 22:50, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

I forgot about this discussion. I doubt that this qualifies as a real spoiler, as the players learn about it as soon as the adventure begins (not that I'm probably going to convince anyone, anyway). - HTD (talk) 00:01, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
