Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

I would say if it is getting impossible to read with all the spoiler tags, then going the "Here be spoilers, Caveat Lector" route would be justified. Our fandom is the use of tropes, not the property which uses them. We assume that the casual reader comes here to be informed rather than to be overly worried about spoilers.
However, I know that it is contentious at times. I think this could be one of those tricky cases where consensus will be hard to come by.
I see. The six seasons have aired long ago (the sixth one ended back in 2014) and the plot is really well-known, so is it also necessary to remove the tags in addition to the reasons I explained above (i.e. the sheer volume of spoilers, quotes are spoilers off)?
Also when I tried to unmark the spoilers from Ahsoka's Wham Line entry, snivyTsutarja swiftly restored it. It also violates Spoilers Off as spoiler tags for quotes are not allowed. I also tried to unmark all the spoilers to maintain consistency with the character pages, but the user reverted it.
I don’t wish to get involved in an edit war over it; as such, I thought a discussion about the spoilers would be necessary. If we do get a consensus, I plan to remove all spoiler tags for the series.

Bump. Manny 20444 pointed out on the discussion page that the separate pages should retain the spoilers. Although, per the policy, spoilers in quotes are not allowed. We always should remain cautious of those who haven't seen The Clone Wars.
As pointed out elsewhere by lakingsif here
, TV shows are commonly spoilers-off for all but the latest season (in this case, The Clone Wars should be spoilers-off for the first six seasons). When Season 7 is released, the spoiler tags will be in effect for that season of The Clone Wars.
Still, like I said, we may need some thoughts from other tropers on this matter regarding the spoilers before the appropriate changes can be made.

Bumping it up again. I've already brought up part of the situation over on the Violations of the Spoiler Policy thread.
Another bump. I've already PM'ed snivyTsutarja about the spoiler policies, have explained that the bugs on the discussion page are forcing me to repeatedly reply to my own comments, and am trying to post the spoiler recommendation in the appropriate forum to get more feedback.
If they don't work out, is there anything we can do about the spoiler situation in general?

Traditionally, we remove the spoilers the day before the new material comes out, not merely when it's announced. Just wait a bit.
All right. Will do.

Removing spoiler tags is always a good thing.
Hello. Since Star Wars: The Clone Wars has a sheer volume of spoilers, all quotes including the Wham Line entry should be Spoilers Off, and the character pages already make it clear that the spoilers for Skywalker Saga and that particular series are unmarked, I think it might be necessary to ask if it's possible if all spoiler tags for that series in the trope subpages (Tropes A To F, Tropes G To N, Tropes O To Z) should be removed; if so, should a warning be placed on them?
I'm thinking that these trope sections should be consistent with all of the main Star Wars film pages (i.e. The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, etc.). While I've added a visible note regarding the spoilers for the Skywalker Saga, I'm growing a little concerned about it because season 7 will be streaming soon and since it's tied with Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, spoilers for the first six seasons of that series should also be unmarked in the trope page with a warning added to it.
I've already opened a discussion on this page to get a consensus
, but I can't seem to edit my post to expand my points.
Thoughts or objections?
