THIS PAGE HAS SPOILERS FOR THE FINAL EMPIRE, SHADOWS OF SELF AND OTHER BOOKS, WATCH OUT

So we have a problem with some pages and especially some redirects where the page title itself is the spoiler. For example with Rashek / Lord Ruler, whichever page title we chose spoils things. If it's at Rashek then anyone looking for info on TLR who hasn't finished the book will get spoiled for that reveal, and similarly if Rashek redirects to TLR then that spoils them too.

Our current idea is to split the article into two, one which describes Rashek up to the Ascension, then has a {{spoilers}} warned link to the Lord Ruler article, which has a similar {{spoilers}} warned link back to Rashek in the TLR's history section, and otherwise doesn't talk about Rashek as a person.

Another would be Sazed and Harmony.

Similarly with Palam and Lessie (and maybe other Palam aliases) any choice we make will massively spoil the plot of either book.

The alternative is to leave the status quo where we only annotate spoilers for the latest books and readers are at-risk for spoilers for anything they haven't read.
