+Historicially, Elanthipedia has two distinct policies when it comes to secrets and spoilers. There was one set of rules for [[necromancer]]s, and another policy governing everything else. The previous necromancer-specific spoiler policy was in place at the request of [[:Category:GameMasters|DragonRealms staff]], who wished to keep necromancer secrets secret. As they have gone out of their way in the past to assist us in our work, the [[:Elanthipedia:Moderator|Moderators]] agreed to limit information.
