Policy question: If the decoy theory is true and Vernal isn't the maiden, what happens to her article during the three-day gap before public release?


 * Temporary full page protection is a possibility, because we're late enough into Volume 5 that protecting the page wouldn't be suspicious.
 * To the contrary, editing the Vernal article and removing anything maiden-related would be suspicious, because a mass removal of information from Vernal's article would be at the top of Special:WikiActivity. That page lists recent changes to all followed pages, and edited pages are followed by default, so if a non-FIRST member were to have edited the Vernal page, they would be spoiled by this hypothetical edit.

As a sidenote, now that this has become a legitimate theory with support from parts of the FNDM, this thread probably belongs in the Speculation House board rather than General Discussion.
