This is the thread to report all violations of the site's spoiler policy in, as well as a place to coordinate cleanup of those articles.

Yeah, if every chapter other than the first one has its own Weird Route equivalent, there would end up being a ridiculous amount of white (or black, if you're using night vision mode) blocked out text on the page, especially since the Weird Route is the kind of thing that encourages tropers to find the most tropes there, more than the main route. And of course, even the main route will probably have regular whams at least once a chapter.

The Golden Age has a spoiler in the work page description above the line.
Oxymoron has a spoiler in the introduction

You can still mention the prequel, just remove the spoiler and it'll be fine.
The Unknown
Pacifist Run has a tag in the page quote hiding the speaker.
If it's that much of a spoiler then we probably need a new quote.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
I just noticed that on the page and kept the quote while removing the character's name.
Is Undertale - Spoiler Characters a kosher name for a page?
The Unknown
Pretty sure it's not.

But what else to call them? It's stated they're Walking Spoilers.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
The issue is, we need to use their names or at least aliases or other descriptors. When you call something a spoiler with no context, it's self-fulfilling; people who aren't sure if they can click on it will click on it just to check, and get spoiled anyway.
More about this on Handling Spoilers.

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
I'm helping!
Currently, the only reason these characters share a page is that they're spoilers.
The other pages are major characters, minor characters, and monster encounters, and we don't immediately see a reason these characters can't be sorted into those categories. Maybe Gaster and his followers could get a "Gaster and followers" page all to themselves.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Maybe “Plot-Heavy Characters” or something?
Goku Black
Cut the page and move these to the appropriate subpages.
Then in their folders their you can uses aliases to spoil them.
Sounds good.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

Deltarune Salt Route haves a few spoilers in the description, all related to the existence of the Snowgrave route in the original game.
The best character is always the one-shot disguise.
Characters.Puella Magi Madoka Magica already warns that the pages have major spoilers, yet they still have spoiler tagging. Should the spoiler tags be removed? And if so, should Rebellion and other spoiler tags be removed too, or those just for the series?
The page for the anime adaptation of the video game Scarlet Nexus (Scarlet Nexus) doesn't have spoiler tag applied to the texts that were deemed as spoilers in the source material, and there's no bold warning on the top of the page either.
the Retromancer
Each of the three games pages in VisualNovel.Zero Escape are swiss-cheesed with half of the text white and plenty of tropes tell what happens by existing or written in "but in reality..." style. Should they perhaps be set to Spoilers Off? We've done this to few other mystery horror visual novels.

TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
The Unknown
x3 It's very difficult to talk about Madoka without tripping over some spoilers. I say strip the tags, especially since the warning is already there.
Alright. I'd remove the spoilers myself, but I don't want to spoil myself on more recent installments I haven't seen so I'll leave that up to somebody else.
The Unknown
Characters.Selector Infected Wixoss has spoilers above the example lines. I don't know anything about the show so I can't really fix it.

What are our views of spoiler tags in WMG pages?
Asking as WMG.Dragalia Lost has quite a lot of tags. Some instances are completely spoilered out, prediction and all.

I think it's only spoilers-off on its own page, thankfully.
To clarify why I think it's a bad idea: when the page was made, only one chapter, which takes about three hours to finish, was released. Now, declaring Spoilers Off on a rather short, story-heavy game sounds sensible, but...
A few days ago, Chapter 2 came out, and it's bigger than the first. On top of that, it's got some huge secrets that are being troped right alongside the "normal" gameplay experience.
The menu screen shows that there will be seven chapters in the final version, and if things continue at this pace, it'll be a huge game that'll take most gamers several days to finish. AKA the kind of game that we normally use spoiler tags for.
So basically, I think that the decision to make it Spoilers Off was the result of treating the Chapter 1 demo as if it was the whole game, when it very much isn't.
Though I'm also okay with keeping it Spoilers Off since it seems like it's going to be a game that's so full of twists and turns that it'll be hard to trope without making half the page spoiler-tagged.
