Is there some sort of a method I or others should use to unspoiler her page aside from just editing it?

There's this, but be warned that it can get confused so you'd still need to look over it afterward to make sure it didn't break anything formatting-wise.

(Copy the link to the browser, replacing "Namespace" with the page's namespace and "Pagename" with the page's name)

[up]Okay, thanks for the tip! Given that your giving this little tidbit, am I safe to assume that I am good to go with unspoiling her and giving the appropriate warnings?

(Also, what is the namespace and what is the pagename? Are they both part of the URL?)

These are the parts of the address. In your case, "Namespace" is "Characters" and "Pagename" is "TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda".

Copypaste that link that was sent above in the URL bar, then replace "Namespace" with "Characters" and "PageName" with "TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda". Then push enter and it's done.

Alright I did all that, but is there anything else I have to do? Like I said I got the screen that looks like Luz's edit page, but it isn't her tropes page. Do I copy that and put it anywhere else? Did I do something wrong?

Nevermind, I got it all in. Now just polishing what was left over.

Does this thread also discuss re-adding spoiler tags to Spoilers Off pages? Characters.Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers has the following note at the top of the page:

Note: Due to a Plot Twist approximately halfway through the game that isn't possible to completely hide with spoiler tags, there are Self Fulfilling Spoilers here. As such, all spoilers are unmarked, except those for Special Episode 5. You have been warned.
However, I don't feel this note is necessary; the main page handles the twist perfectly fine, and any issues with categorising characters can be solved by using the pre-twist categories of the characters, like in this sandbox. Thoughts?

Back when I added that note, I wasn't aware of any specific policy.

WMG.RWBY Characters Beacon And Villains needs a spoiler tag purge. Be sure to check the other RWBY WMG pages as well.

I was checking All There in the Script. There's an example reguarding Atlantis: The Lost Empire where the second subbullet hides under spoiler tags a bunch of character names claiming they were revealed only in the extra content on the movie's 2-disc DVD release. I think it's unnecessary, other than wrong since I remember those full names being used in promotional material when the movie came out. Also Commander Rourke is completely under spoiler tags as if his existence was a spoiler at all, when AFAIK it isn't.

that's not how spoiler tags are supposed to be used anyway.

speaking of "not how spoiler tags are supposed to be used", the Characters.Vinesauce Tomodachi Life pages use spoilers to hide characters' favorite foods if they weren't revealed in the series. but they're not plot-relevant, and knowing them or not knowing them has zero bearing on what happened in the series. seeking consensus to remove these spoiler tags.

[up][up]I'd remove those Spoiler tags too since I don't see the purpose of using them in this case.

Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy treats every single character inroduced in the third season as a Walking Spoiler, even though the fact that Maximals and Predacons appear is the season's main selling point.

Is this the thread to ask if a page should be Spoilers Off? Because I recently found our page for Aisle and the game is so short and spoiler-heavy that I don't think we shouldn't have spoiler tags.

That's an easy spoilers-off from me. Same for its pseudo-spinoff.

My sincere apologies; I recently created a thread concerning the Spoiler Policy for Characters.Bendy And The Ink Machine in the Ask The Tropers section here, out of concern that an Edit War could occur on the page. I have since been informed that this would have been a more appropriate location for that discussion, and in the future, I will try my best to keep things in order.

Should Amnesiac Protagonist Catalyst be fully Spoilers Off instead of warning?
