Violations of the Spoiler Policy

That's one of many questions, but wasn't what I was referring to(nor Cryptid Productions).

Anyway, it is a good question and I'll my thoughts in there soon enough.

oh, my mistake. still, this is something that needs to be discussed too. i don't have much of an investment in the other topic, so ill let cryptid handle that if they choose to.

Sounds fair. I actually noticed a lot of good points the user brought up in the ATT, it just wasn't the place for it and all.

I responded in the topic you made. Maybe not the most fleshed out response, but it's a start.

Just a heads-up, the leaked My Little Pony episodes have had Recap/ pages created for them. Do these qualify as insta-cuts?

Yes.

Is there good amount of information in those pages? Perhaps they could be transferred to a Google doc or something, like what was done with Steven Universe when the first few minutes of episodes were leaking.

They're effectively blank.

Ah. Well then, cut away.

Should Spoiler Cover and Spoiler Title be spoilers-off, considering their nature?

Probably.

I feel like Steven Universe: The Movie is going a bit too far in an attempt to hide spoilers in its description, to the point where the movie's plot is only described in extremely vague terms.

I feel that it's important that we mention that Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl have their memories wiped by the villain, which makes up as much of the plot as actually stopping the injector. But others think that it would count as a spoiler since it wasn't mentioned in promotional material. My stance is that it isn't a spoiler because it's part of the Inciting Incident.

I'd change the description to this:

I could go either way on that.

Speaking of vague descriptions, while I removed all spoiler tags on Andi Mack related to Andi being Bex's daughter and added a banner warning before the examples section, the plot is still described as, in its entirety:

The description was based on an already vague plot summary for the movie, and it just hasn't been edited to be less vague after the movie's premiere.

I feel like we could leave out the detail of them being reset and just say they were taken out of commission.

That doesn't really add much. Also, some of the Gems on Steven Universe — Gem Monsters were split off into Steven Universe — Little Homeworld, which seems like an unnecessary spoiler that wouldn't be useful unless some of the uncorrupted Gems become important characters in the future.

I just don't see why we should leave out that the gems are reset, when it happens so early in the movie and is so important to the story.

I haven't seen it, but we don't put the premise of the work behind spoiler tags.

Spoiler tags aren't allowed in the description. The question is whether it should reveal more of the plot.

Not sure if that applies to Just for Fun pages.

Speaking of spoiler tags up there, the self-demonstrating sans page has spoilers for Undertale.

Characters.Steven Universe Crystal Gems contains a folder marked SPOILER CHARACTER.

DuckTales 2017: Antagonists also has a SPOILER CHARACTERS folder.

Not sure how to write avoid that in this case. Since when are "spoiler character" folders forbidden, anyway? Handling Spoilers even used to say "For characters who are a Walking Spoiler, it is acceptable to hide their entry in a "Spoiler characters" folder or equivalent."

A folder titled "spoiler character" is concealing the name of a character in a folder.

Well there isn't really a way to phrase it otherwise that wouldn't be spoilery.

We're not allowed to put "SPOILER CHARACTER" alone in folder names because, imagine if there were two or more spoiler characters on the same page. It would become impossible to tell which folder is for who without opening them.

I feel like just renaming the folder "Pink Steven (SPOILERS)" wouldn't be THAT big of a spoiler. The name alone doesn't explicitly give away what about him is a spoiler, plus some spoilers are to be expected on any characters page.

Aren't they Self Fulfilling Spoilers? People would have to check the folder to see if they can read said folder.
