Yeah, there is absolutely no point in spoilering trope names.

The B-Movie Comic has spoilers in it's work page description and above the line:

The B-Movie Comic is based on a long, proud history of So Bad, It's Good movies. It mostly follows the exploits of a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who have thus far been engaged in fighting mummies, zombies and Commies. This does change a little bit when a lot of the main characters disappear /die for a large chunk near the end of the second arc, only to be replaced by another set of mistfits, who promptly disappear when the originals came back from the dead.

Another page image spoiler: AxCrazy.Video Games spoils a certain serial killer's identity in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. (It appears that Image Pickin' allowed it through for some reason.)

[up] Maybe they thought it's a It Was His Sled spoiler? Crapsaccharine World's pic is a spoiler for Toy Story 3 but the spoiler itself is of the It Was His Sled.

The Danganronpa character's identity is certainly not well known outside the fandom.

Both pages should be brought to Image Picking.

In a similar fashion, Whale Egg features a video example from The Owl House. The same example is also found on the proper trope page in text form, but under spoiler tags. Since the examples are foldered, the average user will see the video (with the unspoilered description underneath) before they open the Western Animation folder where the same example but with spoiler tags is found.

YMMV.Wanda Vision has spoiler tags on a page warning of unmarked spoilers at the top, but since the entries in question spoil other works, they need actual rewriting instead of just simply stripping the tags.

[up]Not against policy. YMMV isn't Spoilers Off and marking spoilers for other works is fine even if the page has a spoiler warning

Another page image spoiler: Abled in the Adaptation identifies Teddy Sears' character in The Flash (2014) as Hunter Zolomon, and shows him in costume as Zoom.

Sears' character was initially presented to the audience as 1) not Hunter Zolomon, and 2) not Zoom.

So, I discovered that there are spoilers in character descriptions on some One Piece character pages like Characters.One Piece Black Leg Vinsmoke Sanji.

Given that, what's the appropriate way to handle this?

There are tags present in the image caption for Egocentric Team Naming. It's not even a spoiler so it seems unnecessary — a note would probably make more sense.

Characters.The Magnus Archives has two Spoiler Character folders. the second can probably be changed to "The Fifteenth Entity", because that doesn't spoil any more than the mere existence of the folder does, but I'm not sure what to do with the first It's for a character who was Grand Theft Me 'd by the Big Bad shortly before the series began, with that being a major reveal. So it's hard to just change it to the character's name, because anyone who hasn't reached that reveal would expect that folder to include tropes that are actually in the Big Bad's folder. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm starting to wonder whether going full Spoilers Off with Deltarune really was the right idea...

Pretty sure it was a unilateral decision. Was it?

[down] Only on its own page.

No idea, but is it spoilers off only on its own page or across the entire wiki? Only the latter would be problematic.
