The Coppermind deals with spoilers in three stages:
# Prior to a book's release, no content from it may be added to the wiki. This includes chapters that are released before the official publication date, as happened with ''[[Oathbringer]]'' and ''[[Rhythm of War]]''. The one exception to this is that a book's page may include things Brandon has said about the book and list the readings that he has done from the book. At this stage, a notice reminding people of this policy may be added to all content pages and/or the welcome page (via [[MediaWiki:Top-notice-ns-0]] and [[MediaWiki:Top-notice-Coppermind:Welcome]]).
# After a book's release, content from it may be added freely. However, for a period of time after the book is released, all pages with content from the book ''must'' be tagged with a spoiler warning, either with {{t|spoilers|2=book=book code from [[Template:B]]}} or {{t|multispoilers|''first book code from [[Template:B]]''|''second book code from [[Template:B]]''|''etc.''}} (only use {{t|multispoilers}} if there actually are multiple books to tag spoilers for). As anFor example, if an article contains spoilers for ''[[{{b|sa4sa3.5}}|{{b|sa3.5|text=y}}]]'', useyou would add {{t|spoilerspoilers|2=book=sa4sa3.5}}. or if an article containsIf spoilers for bothfrom ''[[{{b|sa4}}]]'' are then added, you would change this to {{t|spoilers|sa3.5|sa4}} and, once the ''[[{{b|sa3.5}}|Dawnshard{{b|sa3.5|text=y}}]]'' usespoiler period is over, you would then change this {{t|multispoilersspoilers|sa3sa4}}.5 Once the ''[[{{b|sa4}}]]'' spoiler period is over, the template can be removed completely (assuming new books haven't been added). If only one section of a page contains spoilers, you may instead place the spoiler tag at the start of that section.
#* For cosmere novels, articles must be tagged with the spoiler warning until nine months after the book was released
#* For non-cosmere novels, articles must be tagged with the spoiler warning until six months after the book was released
