Gearspedia contains spoilers

Gearspedia maintains the policy of documenting all information about the Gears universe in an "omniscient" point of view. Though the "spoiler" warning is used in some articles, it is by no means used every time spoilers are present. When using Gearspedia, you will find that every article contains as complete and thorough information as is possible. If you do not wish to have the details about any Gears related storyline spoiled for you, it would be best if you did not use Gearspedia until you have finished playing or reading through the storyline.

Gearspedia does not protect privacy

Any information found on Gearspedia is not protected. The wiki format makes that impossible. Anything you put into an article or on a user page about yourself will be available to the public. In essence, you are publishing all information that you add when you edit a post.

At the same time, Gearspedia does not collect information about its users. Your IP address will be recorded only when you make an edit for the sake of attributing that edit to a specific user. Providing Gearspedia with your real name and/or E-mail address is optional. If you do not wish for any information about you to be released, do not post it on Gearspedia anywhere.

Gearspedia is not censored

Gearspedia is a wiki about the Gears of War universe, including the Gears games, which are all rated "M" by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. This means that Gearspedia's content is intended for mature audiences, aged 17 and older. The content of Gearspedia's articles and images are therefore also intended for audiences 17 and older. Since the website cannot censor information, it is best to use discretion when viewing Gearspedia's content.
