Though Teletraan-1 strives to constantly update its pages with as much information as possible, there are instances where we purposely do not update an article or section as soon as information becomes known, out of a matter of respect to official parties.


(Note: Yeah, we know. Respect? Who'd a-thunk it?)


"Unofficial" releases

As of this time, this is largely in reference to the upcoming live-action Transformers movie, and all of the leaked information that has not come through any official channel. Since an incredible amount of "information" on this project has been rumor, hearsay, based on unfinished concept work, and so on, this wiki's current policy is to feature only information on the movie that has come through official channels in order to cut back on the amount of misinformation being spread.

Which is a bit like spitting at the ocean, but it's the principle of the thing.

This template may also be used in reference to unreleased, unannounced toys that have appeared on ebay. For example, if Hasbro announces that the next series will be Transformers Chunky Style but offers no other information, then while a Transformers Chunky Style page may be created, any leaked toys or secondhand friend-of-the-janitor-at-Cartoon-Network information tidbits should not be included, and the {{Coming soon|unreleased}} template should be added.

Fun Publications Fan Club material

The Fun Publications Official Transformers Collectors' Club produces original fiction and character bios as part of its content, which is distributed via a paid subscription service. As this is a major source of income for the Club, they are understandably not keen on people distributing such material for free.

Material unique to the Club publications and online content should remain "off-limits" for wiki updating for at least one month following its release. Pages based on Club-original stories or characters may be set up immediately if you wish, but their contents should remain practically empty, and marked as a {{stub}}.
