I think you could put the character's names in the folders if the folders themselves were prefaced with 'spoiler characters' or something.
The Protomen enhanced my life.
It IS inappropiate. Since the mere existence of some characters might be spoileriffic, it will have to suffice to put a general "Beware of unmarked spoilers" at the top of the page.

Never, ever, put "spoiler character" in a Character page folder. If you can't list the character without spoiling the work, then put a warning at the top and call it a day.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
To clarify: spoiler tags are allowed, "Spoiler Character(s)" as a folder name is not. Also, the normal spoiler rules apply to each individual character entry.
Any attempts whatsoever to ban spoiler tags entirely on Characters/ pages are doomed to failure.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
^Why couldn't the tag be disabled?
We could disable them, but that is a bit of an extreme measure.

^ I believe the reasons for not disabling the spoiler tag on Characters/ has been discussed by now.

Writing "Spoiler character" instead of the character's name on a Character page folder is against the spoiler policy, right? I can't find anything on the Character Sheets or Handling Spoilers pages.
It would make sense, since most of the time just knowing the character's name is not a spoiler, and character pages allow more spoilerriffic things to go untagged anyway.
