If you want to give the ending away, the recap namespace can be used to summarize the events of the movie.

Actually, he was talking about the comic book pages (or at least, that's what he linked).

Has enough time passed since the premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron that I don't need to write about casualties in spoiler tags?

Unless you can count the time in decades (plural), I'd say no.

ComicBook.The Wasp has a spoiler tag above the line, and since I haven't seen Ant-Man, I can't remove it myself.

I just cut that part. Not familiar with it, so I'm not sure how relevant what's left is, but at least one problem is fixed.

The entry on Creator.Anna Akana for The Cameo violated the part of the spoiler policy about keeping the name of the work out of spoiler tags. I tried to fix it by adding the name of the franchise the work belongs to, without spoiler tags. Does that work?

According to the Spoiler Policy page, blue links within spoiler tags are not allowed as they will still show up when moused over and are still visible in some browsers.

Poop, I must have broken that rule a billion times by now. I didn't know about it. How should I fix that entry, then?

That she has a cameo in Antman isn't really a spoiler, so you just need to move the Antman wick to outside the spoiler (in place of the MCU wick), hiding just her specific role in the film, and de-wick the Falcon link.

TearJerker.Mad Max Fury Road has a lot of entries covered either entirely or mostly in spoiler tags. Does it seem necessary to take any action on them?

I find Tear Jerker pages in general to be spoiler heavy, similar to Death Tropes. I'm not sure how you can go to one of those and expect no spoilers.

SelfDemonstrating.Deadpool appears to include a billion violations of the rule about not including spoiler tags above the examples section, or at least too many for me to try to rewrite myself.

[up] It's a self-demonstrating page. There's a thread about those somewhere...

Could we turn off spoilers for Evil All Along? The result is that most of the entries are spoiled, making it hard to read.

YMMV.Ant Man has a Broken Base entry in the first folder that has spoiler tags, but doesn't say which story/stories the reader risks spoiling by opening them. (Just that one of them came out "recently", which could very well be a year or two ago, or quite possibly even longer...)

Also has a Justifying Edit to it. Or one that claims it's not actually an example. Another problem is that it basically only says that something happened, and some people weren't happy about it, without really offering any detail about how the trope applies.

Does that mean you'd prefer removing the entry to trying to find out which comic it risks spoiling?

It means it's a mess and should at least be rewritten. Deleting is fine too if it actually isn't a proper example; I'm not familiar enough with it.

Theatre.Spamalot has spoiler tags above the line, but it seems possible that other parts of the synopsis also need removing/moving, for brevity's sake.

EDIT: Resolved this myself, though it took me a while to come up with a new wording for the ending.

YMMV.Naruto has a note that anything not released online should have spoiler tags. Should spoiler tags stay on the pages regardless of the availability, or should it just have no spoiler tags?
