What is a Future class article? I've never seen one before. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:52, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Assessment, it's an article that deals with "a topic about which details are subject to change often." AmericanLemming (talk) 00:44, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've never seen it either (And I co-write this report!). Definitely a niche thing.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 01:37, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen it before. It's a rare class and not every project adopts it (just like A-class). But clearly the class needs to be re-assessed now that the event happened already. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 07:07, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a place I expected to run into a Game of Thrones spoiler. sigh —Naddy (talk) 12:16, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The episode is two weeks old, dude. At some point, you can't call them spoilers anymore. Serendi ^pod ous 12:18, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not everyone can watch it on first release. Personally, I won't be able to see it until it's available for streaming or released on DVD (and the technical capability for streaming is a new thing for me); although I had already been spoiled on this by a different site. Two weeks isn't really a reasonable spoiler-expiry period for all readers. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 16:38, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the point. That episode is controversial, and so weas reported on other sites and in the news. And led to a spike in Wikipedia views. If that happens, I will record it; if it doesn't, I won't. Wikipedia doesn't do spoiler warnings and I don't intend to either. Frankly, if you come to this article expecting not to read about Game of Thrones, you haven't come to this article before. Serendi ^pod ous 17:02, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
