We actually have the same problem on here. According to our Spoiler Policy, it's strictly forbidden to add information from chapters until the official Crunchyroll translation comes out the 8th of each month, but since the scanlations are usually leaked a few days earlier, users come to the wiki and add spoilers here and there. What I've done the last two months has been:


 * Locking the whole wiki so that only registered users can edit.
 * Locking key articles to be only editable by admins and content moderators (I'd advice giving up with placing a message at the top of the editor because Wikia has at least four different editors plus the mobile one, and it's impossible to add a message to each of them. Simply lock temporarily the articles that are most likely to be filled with spoilers)
 * Opening a thread on the forum reminding people about the spoiler policy and highlighting it (example). Since the wiki is locked for anonymous users, any person that wants to edit an article is forced to log in, and then they see the highlighted thread in their notifications.
 * Inserting a big red warning on top of the message box for the Forum and Message Walls.

But even despite all of these measures, there are still users that for some reason ignore all of them and upload spoiling images or try to add spoiling information here and there. I've been tempted to request to the Wikia Staff or the VSTF to disable the creation of new accounts from the day the early spoilers are leaked until the release of the official chapter, but I think I'll just try to add the red warning to other sections; namely blog comments and upload pages. I have to do it this week because the early spoilers of the next chapter will be leaked in a few days, so once I've devised something I'll let you know. :)
