The Coppermind has full spoilers for all published books; if someone hasn't read everything yet, it's up to them to decide how much of a risk of spoilers they're willing to take. Things are becoming more and more interconnected and there's no reasonable way we can keep information siloed. That said, given the nature of the Ghostbloods, we have decided to add a custom spoiler warning to the top of the page like Kelsier has.
(It needs SA4 expansion as well, not just SA3.)
