I am fairly sure I saw Fast Eddie state that spoilers in folder names was bad, so yeah move it down.

Yup, and I'll say it often. A label you cannot read is absolutely useless.

How are you supposed to rename them to be non-spoiler though?

You don't.

If someone is looking at a character page, it is assumed that they are prepared to see spoilers.

Is the one with Librarian even accurate? I've been out of Discworld fandom for a while, but I thought that was just Pratchett teasing the readship with an in-universe theory and not confirmed. The one for the Dean could easily move down into the folder, especially since he has spent most of the series as The Dean.

The Librarian's name comes up in The Last Continent. The ape threatens Rincewind when the wizzard starts to say it, among other things. Knowing his True Name could be the foundation of a spell to turn him human again, and he doesn't want that at all. For one thing, he no longer needs a ladder to get to the top shelves. :p

Edit: and spoilers moved.

Eep. Some of the Character pages need work. [[ActualTropeName Play on Trope Name]] and spoilered trope names/whole entries here and there. I'll see if I have time after arguing with my health insurance peoples. Again. At least they have a nice call center; just a lot of rules.
