I'd say that should probably be on Spoilered Rotten.
LateArrivalSpoiler.Live Action TV contains some entries concerning The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, despite the existence of LateArrivalSpoiler.Star Wars (which also has entries about those two shows).
On Inside Job (2021) Bear -O's character folder pretty much the whole thing is spoiler tagged, permission to remove them and mark it Unmarked spoilers?
"We'll meet again" | 🏳️⚧️
Don't see why not.
As an ending trope subpage, MultipleEndings.Undertale shouldn't have spoiler markup, right?
Do moments pages have a preferred way of bringing up unmarked spoilers? In hindsight I definitely should have asked before editing moments pages to add unmarked spoilers tags.
Should it be like this (what I've been doing):
Moment pages are Spoilers Off per site policy. You Have Been Warned.
Or like this:
Moment pages are Spoilers Off per site policy. You Have Been Warned.
At first I thought it didn't matter, but I'm asking just in case. I have a feeling it depends on whether or not a page has an image.

Feel free to help with the sandbox or edit my troper wall
(x3) Since it's discussing endings, that page should be Administrivia.Spoilers Off.

Either is fine; there are no rules either way.

Yeah. There's no way to put works on it without spoiling the fact that they have multiple endings.
I was looking at Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist earlier and I wonder if it should be spoilers off. Most of the examples seem to come from pretty late in their respective works, perhaps in part because there needs to be enough to make it look like the villain may be a Well-Intentioned Extremist and then reveal they aren't. There's also inconsistancy with some endings being unspoiled anyway and some not.
Of course, there's also a lot of misuse of the "they were never trying to convince us the villain was well-intentioned anyway" variety.

My musician pageAs a death trope, should the spoilers be entirely removed from Heroic Suicide? The page itself says "expect lots of unmarked spoilers", but there are still some spoilers in place.
Well, it depends. We want to keep the stuff relevant to the death untagged, but that doesn't necessarily mean we should spoil everything.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI'm thinking of making Characters.Puella Magi Madoka Magica Kyubey because he's a Walking Spoiler and roughly 70% (at least) of his page is spoilered out. What do you all think?
I disagree that he's a Walking Spoiler (you can name him and give a basic description of him without spoiling, as the top of his page does) but given the proportion of spoiled out text and the number of trope names that are already spoilers by themselves, I'd be fine with making his page spoilers off.
He can't be Walking Spoiler is he's still a recurring character before The Reveal. Still, it's difficult to bring up anything about him.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
Wouldn't a walking spoiler count for that anyway? Even if the character appears in pre-spoilers, if everything about them is a spoiler, that seems like it would qualify them as a Walking Spoiler.
There's a big misunderstanding about Walking Spoiler that is cleared up by the second-to-last paragraph in the trope's description. The takeaway is that if you can mention this character exists and describe their basic traits without spoiling anything, they aren't an example.
Of note is that Walking Spoiler had an attempted TRS
that went nowhere recently.
The first paragraph of Walking Spoiler states, "A character or thing in which most of its tropes are spoilers." And you can't say much about him without revealing he's an insincere villain and stating what he is is a Spoiler itself. Plus, there's nothing saying a character can not both be a recurring character and a WS.
Honestly, if you all want to discuss the details of WS, TRS and (EDIT: to a lesser extent) Trope Talk are better places for that. Honestly, the reason I brought this up is to suggest making a page Administrivia.Spoilers Off and not to discuss one trope.

Like I said, I think his page can be made spoilers off even if he isn't a Walking Spoiler, since a) so much of it is spoiled out b) there's a lot of trope names that are already spoilers by themselves.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has some inconsistency with spoiler tags. For instance, Paradox Pokémon are hidden under spoiler tags for most of the page except under Ambiguous Robots and Lost World. Also, Foreshadowing mentions that Larry is both the Normal-type Gym Leader and the Flying-type Elite Four with no issues, while Stealth Pun spoils the latter part. In the YMMV page, Larry's status as an Elite Four member is again not spoiled multiple times, while Arven's paragraph under The Woobie is filled with endgame reveals with no spoiler tag whatsoever.
? Looks like most of Arven’s paragraph is spoilered to me. Could possibly extend that to the bit about Mabostiff, but that’s not as plot-critical.
If it were me, I’d probably spoil everything mentioning the Paradox Pokémon at least. But I’d also want to hear from others.
My musician page
Whoops. I was in editing mode and I didn't see the beginning of the spoiler marking on the Arven paragraph.
About spoiling Paradox Pokémon... I don't know. On one side they're a late game twist, but on the other side when people talk about the game online, when they're not complaining about the bugs the only other argument is about Paradox Pokémon's competitive usage (I wanted to do a blind run of the whole game, but it was ruined because everyone and their dog was yelling "HEY LOOK HERE ARE ROARING MOON AND FLUTTER MANE THEY'RE LIKE SUPER OP" on my social feeds and when I complained because they were posting spoiler things a week after the game's release they all pointed at me and laughed)

Berserk Button: misusing Nightmare Fuel
So Characters.Psychonauts Psychonauts (yes, it's a Repetitive Name, the first half refers to the game and the second to the titular organization) has a seemingly-minor character with a MAJOR SPOILERS tag in their folder name. Considering how the second game's plot revolves around hunting down The Mole, anyone who sees this before beating the game will probably immediately jump to a certain conclusion before even clicking on the folder.
Perhaps one solution would be to do what Characters.Persona 4 and Characters.Squid Game do, and have the folder only contain the pre-reveal tropes, while the tropes related to their true identity are kept in a separate folder.
