Like, were there any collaborative efforts among fans to prevent spoilage preceding the release of Metal Gear 4 or Peace Walker? Not sure I get what you're saying here. Collaborative in the sense of just us here on the Wiki, or amongst all facets of the MGS fanbase?

There definitely was for MGS4. It was being touted as the end of the series at the time, so people really didn't want to have the experience sullied by spoilers (and the final reveal of Big Boss being in the game actually did leak a month or so before release). I think there was less of an effort when Peace Walker rolled around.

With MGSV being the pretty much for definite the last Kojima helmed Metal Gear game, people don't want the joy of experiencing the game ruined for them. Pretty much all aspects of the fanbase.
