Violations of the Spoiler Policy

Correct. Characters pages can be looser on spoilers; if you're going there you're assuming at least some spoiler risk.

The Roleplay.Doubt Academy pages look like Swiss Cheese, in addition to their numerous other problems.

The folder for Weather Report on Characters.Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean is almost entirely spoiler-tagged. I think there are only five tropes in there that don't contain at least one spoiler tag, and a large portion of the rest is All White Entries.

I'm not sure whether he actually qualifies for Walking Spoiler status considering how he's introduced pretty early on and acts as a major ally for a large portion of the story, so slapping on a spoiler warning on top could end up being a spoiler in itself (though it would probably fall within the acceptable level of spoilers for a character page).

I don't know the work, but sometimes there's no way to avoid self fulfilling spoilers. Once again, if you view a Characters page while not caught up with the work, you're assuming some risk of accidentally spoiling yourself, since some things can't be hidden.

Alright then, I took off all the spoiler tags in his folder and put a spoiler warning in the folder name.

Spider-Man: Life Story is almost nonstop spoilers, and many sections are whited out completely except for trope names.

I'm waiting for the trade on this one, so I wouldn't be able to do much. The work is ongoing and ends in a little over a month, so some of the nonsense edits will probably stop then.

All white except the trope name is not against the rules (and in fact is preferable to a swiss-cheese entry.) Of course, if it can be rewritten, do so.

Characters.Symphonic Rain is littered with spoiler tag violations among other things.

As is Characters.Watchtower Grotto.

Both of those pages seem like they were made by someone who doesn't really know the rules for character pages. The spoilers can be rewritten easily, but the fact that none of the characters have descriptions is harder to fix, since I doubt anyone here is personally familiar with them.

I keep meaning to sandbox an administrivia page to show people how to make a character page, but I've been busy.

I removed spoiler tags from trope names and hid Zero-Context Examples on Characters.Symphonic Rain.

W@tchtower Grotto is in Unpublished Works, so it shouldn't even have a character page, or any subpage at all.

Oh, I didn't check the namespaces. OK then, submitted that to the Cut List.

YMMV.Game Theory (under Hilarious in Hindsight) drops a massive RWBY spoiler with no warning on an unrelated entry.

The spoiler tags don't help much, because it's effectively a Swiss cheese entry.

Just delete it. It looks super shoehorned.

Deleted.

no-one has to die. has ZCEs galore, not helped by the entries either being all-white or swiss cheese thanks to the spoiler tagging.

In the navigation index on Characters.My Hero Academia and its subpages, Aukefi moved the link to the Meta Liberation Army's page to indicate that it's now part of the League of Villains. This is a spoiler for the latest chapter of the manga, so I feel like it should be reverted.

Don't know the work, but occasionally spoilers such as this are unavoidable on this wiki due to Spoiled by the Format. It works the same for any work that has character pages/folders divided by faction.

It's probably far too soon to make such a move, though.

Pretty much. I'm well aware that spoilers are inevitable when it comes to character pages, but having a big spoiler visible on every single subpage, including unrelated ones, is a bit worse. Simply having the Meta Liberation Army separate from the League of Villains, like it was before they joined forces, should be acceptable.

On Chastity Couple, the wives of Naruto and Sasuke were spoilered on an examples mentioning Naruto Gaiden or Boruto. It's a spoiler for Naruto but not the sequels, so shouldn't it be unspoilered?

If the example is a Boruto example, Naruto is spoilers-off. But if the example is a Naruto example, it's a bit thornier.

So I just noticed that Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba The Demon Killing Corps organizes characters by whether they're alive, dead, or retired. I know that spoilers are inherent on character sheets, but when the very organization of the page contains major spoilers (I wanted to check if a certain trope applied to a certain character from the anime, and got spoiled that they, along with a bunch of other characters, end up dead later in the manga, all before I even opened their folder), that might be going a bit too far, especially since there's no big spoiler warning at the top of the page.

That is absolutely going too far. It needs to be organized differently to avoid the spoilers mess.

I brought up the issue on the Kimetsu no Yaiba thread in the anime and manga forums, so hopefully someone who's read the manga and doesn't need to avoid spoilers can re-order the characters.
