Violations of the Spoiler Policy

That's changed then, because last I heard you were MEANT to try and leave an example as unspoilered as possible. Also if you look at those pages it is quite easy to see some people are loathe to give any information whilst others (Botanical Abomination entry on WebVideo.Gemini Home Entertainment) give more, including information that has been spoilered in other entries.

"As possible" being the key words. There are occasional situations where all-white except the trope name is the best option.

Yeah, "as unspoilered as possible" and "only the trope name is visible" aren't necessarily contradictory.

It's a red flag, but it's not outright forbidden.

Final Fantasy V is the page image on Merged Reality, yet the text of the example on the trope page attempts to hide that it is an example.

Strip the example of its tags. It's not really a spoiler in the first place.

While I'm still waiting on what should be done with the spoiler tags on the main RWBY work pages up to Volume 8, I'm thinking about what to do about the Death Tropes on those particular pages, since they are not to be on the character pages and some of them are self-fulfilling. Any ideas?

Where are you getting the idea that Death Tropes never belong on character pages? They are plot tropes, but they are (usually) directly about the character and in some cases impact their characterization. (My go-to example for this is Kenny from South Park.)

^ Likely from this mod post.

As anyone who spends enough time on these forums should know by now, one mod/admin's opinion or random ATT/forum comment does not mean it's a rule. (Which is one of the reasons why policy debates take forever.)

NightmareFuel.Super Mario Logan is infested with spoiler tags despite being a Nightmare Fuel subpage.

Strip 'em.

The Late Export for You example about Disney+ (both on the trope page and on the media page) hides under a spoiler tag the existence of the Child/Baby Yoda/Grogu, which is obviously not a spoiler thing.

Cut.

The description of Stories Untold looks pretty spoiler-y. It looks like someone removed spoiler tags from it without rewriting to remove the spoilers underneath.

From Guppy Love:

Slash Fic: Subverted, as it's nothing more a puppy love crush and Rarity doesn't feel the same way towards Applejack.

Jesus Christ... This spoiler is HUGE, in both the example sense, and the spoiler-itself sense!

Sorry, brain fart.

what page is it from? Posting it here with no elaboration makes it a Self-Fulfilling Spoiler.

Assuming that the spoiler there is the unrequited part and not the crush itself, how about something more like:

• Slash Fic: The fic centers around Applejack's crush on Rarity. But in the end it turns out Rarity doesn't reciprocate.

Haven't read the fic, so adjust as necessary.

Yeah, the fic focuses pretty early on the crush.

I was directed here because of the problem I had with one page, but I think it exists in other pages of its kin as well. Namely, the existence of spoiler tags in Spoilered Rotten trope pages.

Like Canon Character All Along for example. It's already a plot twist by its very nature. Readers going into the page should be expected to see it full of spoilers, so do we still need to keep spoiler tags on its page?

I've seen many character pages where a Walking Spoiler's entry (and in some cases an entire character group in a folder, even a character's name on its heading) be full of white "nothing" because of spoilers. CCAA didn't stoop to that problem, but it's still riddled with many, many, many spoiler tags. I haven't checked yet, but maybe some of the other Spoilered Rotten pages had them too.

There's something I also noticed. Like all those pages that have the "Beware of unmarked spoilers" disclaimer in the description but then two third of the examples are giant spoiler tags anyway.

The first of the two Miraculous Ladybug examples on Fusion Dissonance hides under spoiler tags both the name of the fusion villain and the two characters that formed it, but that example is also the latest video example of the trope. Not only the average troper would see the video before opening the Western Animation folder, but the description for the video itself is the exact text of the example, just without the spoiler tags.

The Plot is almost entirely spoilered out. Should it just be Spoilers Off if it's that much of an issue, or should we just ask the person who made the page to only spoiler some of the key details if possible?

World's End Club is a spoiler minefield. Should we treat it like Danganronpa and declare-it Spoilers Off on its own page?

So here's a question. I've been troping Friday Night Funkin': Corruption without marking spoilers, but I don't know if I should have tagged them? It's a video series with around 47~ of official content (each video ends with a fanart reel), and each video follows roughly the same beats.

Also, came across HoloFunk, which has a spoiler in the folder that's in the description.

I have no objections to it.
