If spoiler tagging is to be reserved for substantial plot twists, then trivial stuff like that probably shouldn't be spoilertagged, even if it ruins a minor joke.

Instead of, or in addition to, reducing the amount things we hide behind spoiler tags, another option to fix the swiss cheese problem is to reword the entries so that they don't ''need'' the spoiler tags to avoid revealing too much. This seems to be the preferred option, though I'm personally ambivalent to it because it can lead to excessively vague or oblique wording.

So if it's just too hard not to spoil without swiss-cheesing the page, you can just despoiler the whole page and put a warning. We already did that to the Character sheet, so I guess it would really be more consistent if we did the same thing to the main page.
