There are many Wikipedia or Fandom Wiki articles that go into so much detail that, in some cases, it tells you more about the story than even watching or reading the original content could tell you. Why is this allowed, and when does it cross the line to becoming an issue?

The original work itself is protected.

Discussing or describing the original work is itself a *new* work, which the creators of the original work have no control over.
