You can post rumors (to a point) but only if you make it clear that it is just a rumor and it may or may not be true. But just because you can doesn't mean you should. As it may cause a spread of false information where people might believe it is true, even though there is an equal chance for it being false.

Spoilers have a 50/50 chance of being ok. You can categorize spoilers into two categories: Officially released (previews, promotional videos, and from official events, like Comic Cons and the like) or Unofficiall released (Leaks and what not). Officiall released materials are those that the creators want us to see while those that are unofficially released should not be viewed by the public till the actual airing of the episode.

The wiki used to be very lenient on the leaks policy. People were allowed to spread any leak they may come across from other sources. But because there was no proper regulation of leaks, people who didn't want to see it got spoiled instead, which caused them to lose some excitment, if you will. A person from the actual showed graced this wiki with his presence when he asked a person who was spreading plots for StevenBomb 3 to stop it due to the leaks hurting the creators more as their hardwork for delivering us an exciting new episode was all for naught when people were just getting spoiled and losing excitment when the actual episode aired. After that incident, the wiki made a stricter policy regarding leaked information.

But you can still post spoilers from officially released media, but keep in mind that it might spoil it for others.
