Look, a media HAS to be available to ALL—even if only as a book or "tape" to go purchase in cases of really old and obscure—so that info can be *easily* identified.

You simply have to be patient. Hey, I have ON MY HARD DRIVE not only the MLP movie, but 4 episodes of Mysticons, 3 episodes of Get Shorty (Epix TV), and several others because I'm on several lists of early advanced viewers. Sometimes up to a year in advance. And *I* have to wait for releases EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ENTIRE EPISODES AND MOVIES to draw information from and is not *compiling* speculative info, even if from official sources.

See, a KEY ASPECT of the Rule is *not* providing SPOILERS. Similar to how people try to avoid hearing about a sports event or TV show they have recording/recorded, we want to not ruin the chance for people to learn for themselves first hand. And it not only just about building new articles.

For example, while waiting on the Public Release of a RWBY episode, then 1 day lagging the Private/Subscriber release, I GOT SPOILERED of a the detail that Roman Torchwick was killed by the addition of Category:Deceased popping up in the WikiActivity feed. I was livid because I had been avoiding everything RWBY until after I could see that latest episode.

But put up a new page and the cloud of category tags and you spoil a lot of information for others.

Again, that's not the *only* reason for No Upcoming Media, but it is a *key* reason.
