\\\'\\\'\\\"This site\\\'s primarily goal is to list tropes, why should we exclude them because they\\\'re spoilers? They should just be covered, simple as that.\\\"\\\'\\\'

I agree that our primarily goal is to list tropes, but \\\'\\\'\\\'disagree\\\'\\\'\\\' that they should be covered.

They\\\'re actually two sepearte matters, listing tropes is your goal as \\\'\\\'\\\'a troper\\\'\\\'\\\', covering spoiler is what you do as \\\'\\\'\\\'a fan of the work\\\'\\\'\\\'. Surely, since this is TVTropes, being troper should be on higher priority. But since that would be too much, as we\\\'re all fans of some works, missing one or two tropes in exchange of neatly-looking page is acceptable compromise (at least that\\\'s how I see it).

Hint. When a work or character is too much spoiler-heavy, then we actually give up using spoiler tag altogether. Instead, we put warning at the top of examples that there\\\'re lot of uncover spoiler, or in case of WalkingSpoiler character, give them a separate folder with same warning.

Plus, covered tropes will be spoiled the moment you hover your mouse over it. It\\\'s Administrivia/SelfFulfillingSpoiler to a degree.

They\'re actually two sepearte matter, listing tropes is you do as \'\'\'a troper\'\'\', covering spoiler is what you do as \'\'\'a fan of the work\'\'\'. Surely, since this is TVTropes, being troper should be on higher priority.
