We really need to revive that thread and figure out how to handle that policy.

From what I remember, "Don't spoiler things in the Character Pages and put up a warning for Unmarked Spoilers." was the last thing Fast Eddie said. Paraphrased, anyway.

Or, to be exact;

Should spoil tags be used in character sheets? I've been giving wiki love to the Characters.Mighty Max page and I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Yes that is the case, although, while Fast Eddie is the one to decide (which I fully accept) there were some good arguments why tropes in the character pages shouls still be allowed to be spoiler-tagged in that threat. I think those should be discussed a bit more.

Without love, it cannot be seen.

Here's the actual topic.

Perhaps continuing it would be an excellent idea, then. :)

Yeah, Word of Eddie is that character sheets are not to have spoiler tags.

I suggested in the thread just now that Eddie maybe help us out a little and add a banner to the Characters/ namespace (like with Trivia/ and YMMV/) mentioning this.

Trust me, I'm an engineer!

No spoiler tags at all on character sheets? That seems like... just a terrible idea.

If nothing's spoiled on character sheets, then people will be avoiding them until they're done with the show... which will lead to them putting character-specific examples on the work's main page.

While I agree, Larkman, we've got an actual thread for this. Let's take it there.

Good call, thanks. You're right, not the place.
