This wiki is not a spoiler-free zone. As an (albeit incomplete) encyclopedia on Critical Role, omitting spoilers does not serve the purpose of this website. Keeping information current is fairly common practice on Wikia sites. See, for example:
 * Supergirl wiki's policy on spoilers, allowing immediate spoilers upon airing;
 * Memory Alpha wiki's policy on Star Trek spoilers, allowing immediate spoilers upon airing;
 * Smallville wiki's policy on spoilers, allowing immediate spoilers upon airing, but advising to wait until after the continental U.S. airing; and
 * The Flash wiki's policy on spoilers, which puts the onus on the reader, saying, "As it is about a current show, reading articles can spoil episodes for all users," and "Users are not permitted to complain in any way about parts of the show that have been spoiled to them[...]" (emphasis original).

Due to the encyclopedic nature of the wiki, spoiler protection is a slippery slope. Do we hide Uriel's death from his infobox, or Vex'ahlia's resurrection from hers? Do we hide that Orion Acaba left the show, which would spoil the fact that Tiberius left? Do we delete the Thordak page so people aren't spoiled by the fact that there's an ancient red dragon? Do we remove actor information so people don't know that Chris Hardwick guest starred? Do we remove the Craven Edge page so people don't know Grog died, or that he got a cool sword, or that the Briarwoods died, or that the Briarwoods were even encountered on stream at all? There are places for discussion of Critical Role that aspire to be spoiler-free, but this isn't one of them, because the whole point of this site is to collect information about the episodes, characters, places, items, and plot development—with references.

Certainly, one area where our wiki can improve is documentation and policies, including a prominent warning that this wiki is not a spoiler-free website. That improvement is a medium priority on my list, but I'll make an effort to put something in place sooner rather than later if no one else does it first.

Regarding this particular chapter title, thanks for your feedback. The overall arc of this chapter remains to be seen, although based on comments from Mercer about his plans after the Chroma Conclave, I do expect this chapter to be focused on the Conclave's fall. If the arc starts seeming like it's more about collecting Vestiges without breaking the Conclave, or more about character development and (for example) the Raven Queen than about Exandria's liberation, then the placeholder chapter title will certainly change to reflect that.
