It’s a time period—I think three weeks?—after a new book comes out where no one on the wiki is allowed to post any spoilers. There was sort of one last year, but it wasn’t very well advertised and some people (mostly me, admittedly) posted a lot of spoilers the day the book came out. Some people wanted those, which was why I did it, but it also ruined the book for a lot of wiki users who don’t read as fast as I do. Eternal apologies to CustardBursts for ruining Flashback for you, by the way. I still feel really bad about it.

So, it’s basically to make sure no one did what I did last year. Some people don’t want to have to stay off the wiki until they’ve read the book, and this gives everyone a chance to get on the same page before spoilers are discussed.
