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.

Hello, I’ve been planning to launch this page and I was wondering about the spoilers; should it be spoilers off or spoilered for Cold Steel III onwards?

YMMV.Sonic Heroes has all mentions of the true big bad of the game uncovered, while both the main page and the Trivia page use spoiler tags.
The best character is always the one-shot disguise.
The Unknown
It's not even that much of a spoiler. Dude's in the opening movie.
Strip 'em.

Found this Narm entry on YMMV.Yakuza 5, which feels like it's trying to hide said final boss's identity by just calling them "Final Boss", despite said character's identity, Masato Aizawa, being mentioned under spoiler tags elsewhere on the same page:
- A pre-fight exchange between Kiryu and the Final Boss is seemingly lampshading the fact how unexpected, and even absurd, his role is.
Kiryu: What are you doing here?
The Final Boss: To be honest... I'm not really sure myself.
- A pre-fight exchange between Kiryu and the Final Boss is seemingly lampshading the fact how unexpected, and even absurd, his role is.
So, this should be rewritten to name the actual character, right?
"Leftover items still have value!"
Don't know the work, but from what's said on the Broken Base entry I lean towards "this is actually a reveal in the game, and mentions should be spoilered out".
Meito Anizawa, Anime Tenchou
Yeah, it should be spoilered, but I was thinking of making it "A pre-fight exchange between Kiryu and the Final Boss, Masato Aizawa" and replacing "The Final Boss" in the quote with said character's spoilered name, instead of just awkwardly avoiding naming said character at all

Works for me.

And changed
"Leftover items still have value!"
the Retromancer
Yes, that’s fine.
Correct.
"[Trope Name]: spoilered out block of text" is allowed, while [Trope Name]: spoilered out block of text is not.
This is a common misconception.

Life on Mars (2006) says it contains spoilers for Ashes to Ashes (2008) finale. Naturally, why?

There may be cases where a work is recontextualized by its sequel.
Ashes to Ashes definitely affects Life on Mars (hence the now-deleted Ashes To Ashes Spoilers page, archived here
), but not to the extent that its events are worth mentioning under tags on the Life on Mars pages.

I swore that I put a Spoilers Off warning on Dismembering the Body when it was on TLP since it's a Death Trope but I don't see the Spoilers Off warning there for some reason.
Is it OK to add it there?

Excuse the bump, but I haven't gotten an answer to my query yet.

You have quite a good case to add it.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

Alrighty, I'll add the Spoilers Off warning linking this thread.
EDIT: It has been added and spoiler tags have been stripped.

Creator.Natalie Dormer has a spoiler-tagged role in the TV section of her filmography. It's one of two names for that series.
It's above the line, so I'm assuming that needs to go. Keep the existing character name for that show, delete the second/tagged one?
the Retromancer
Per this (Rain Code and Danganronpa spoilers), if the page is spoilers off, does that mean spoilers for referenced works should also be unmarked?
Friends forevermore
No. "Spoilers off" should mean spoilers off for itself and direct predecessors only.

Honestly I think spoiler-tagging Walking Spoiler roles on creator pages' lists of roles is fine (and I think that's come up before, but I can't remember where), but in this case, without opening the spoiler tag, it looks like it's an alias for a character rather than a second role, in which case, it should be fine to just delete it.

YMMV.Transformers Earth Spark has a spoiler tag on LGBT Fanbase that feels out of place, since its content (the show featuring a non-binary character) is also described under other tropes on the same page with no spoiler tags.
The best character is always the one-shot disguise.
Rookie Trope Repairer
Crosspost to the MLP:FiM cleanup thread: Heartwarming.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Season 4 has spoiler tags dotted about, especially for both parts of the finale, despite the Spoilers Off policy for Moments pages. I doubt this will be the only season affected.

How sweet it is
Some violations found recently:
- Characters.Robotics Notes has spoiler tagged trope names
- Characters.V Shojo has spoiler tags in Nyanners's description
"completely spoilered-out example isn't allowed on TV Tropes."
Remind me, All-White Entry is not allowed, but per Handling Spoilers if the trope name isn't obscured it should be fine?
