Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

Recap pages for individual episodes are spoilers off for obvious reasons, but are spoiler tags allowed on episode lists (for example)?

I don't see any spoiler tags on that page, and I don't think any description of the events by series should be on that page.

In this specific instance, the episode list for Supergirl includes the opening narration of each series. The opening narration changes part way through series 4 and the new narration, as well as the circumstances that caused it to change, spoils the previous episodes.

Does anybody have an opinion on this?

There shouldn't be any tags. Recaps are already Spoilers Off, plus people should know better.

The episode pages themselves are, but it makes no sense for episode lists to have unmarked spoilers on them. How else are you supposed to get to the pages of episodes you have watched?

I don't think any description of the events by series should be on the racap index page.
