The rule for character pages is that the name of the character cannot be spoilered out. If the existence of a character is in itself a spoiler, then it's best the page go spoilers off.

Looking at the original edit, it seems fine to me.

I mean, technically the chapter isn't out yet (it releases tomorrow), but should anything be done if it's going to come out in twenty minutes anyway?

The name of the character isn't at issue here; it's a spoiler fact about the character that's being added to the end of her character description.

As far as I know, that's not forbidden, so the line can stay, but it should be spoiler-tagged and there should be sufficient text outside the tag so that the reader knows what part of the story it refers to (and therefore whether it's safe for them to open it).

Alright. I'll do something like that.

I suspended CASC Hero for edit warring, and I also noticed that they've got a lot of notifiers.

Whether the line was merited doesn't change the fact that it should have been discussed before being put back.
