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.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
The verdict put by FastEddie himself long ago is that spoiler-ed out example is ok as long as it doesn't cover the trope's name in trope list. So on the page you link to, the only objectively illegal use of spoiler tag I noticed are those quote (see Spoilers Off).
^^ I suppose that's also an option, however when dealing with spoilers I typically just prefer to let them be if they don't seem to be hurting anything; just didn't realize entirely spoilered examples are kosher.
Edit: ^ Also true...
Really I was just wondering if there was an official protocol for this sort of thing, and seeing as spoilers are more complex than other things and not necessarily causing problems, I think I'd prefer to just not mess with them at all unless they're actually breaking policy. Thanks for the advice though, guys.

What's the proper protocol again for fixing an example that's entirely spoiler-ed out? I'm doing some page cleanups and have come across The Cinema Snob Movie, which is rife with spoilers. Having never seen it, I can't do anything to rewrite the examples myself, and I'm pretty sure commenting out examples is for Zero Context Examples only, so what's the correct course of action?
Note that until I get an answer I'll leave it as is (in terms of spoilers anyway), to avoid creating any problems, and just focus on fixing what I do know how to fix.
