Perhaps remove any mention of Promos from the description, but keep it through the trope examples? It cannot be marked a spoiler in the description, though it can in the examples if it really needs to be. However, keep in mind Handling Spoilers: "Having specific rules about what to hide in the example is too complicated. It boils down to: Think about it. Think about the casual reader, who doesn't care about spoilers. We know it seems important to fans of a given work, but the far and away majority of readers are not people with a fannish mindset at all. We who edit are mostly fannish, but the people who edit are less than 1% of the people who read the wiki. Let's continue to write for the casual reader. It is our best way to convert them to fans."
Most of the page was covered in spoilers tags before I wrangled it, and it seems like this is difficult to write about without spoiling that. So I would recommend either do not mention the Promos connection when it isn't needed for context, or go ahead and spoil it because the casual reader hasn't seen either series.
I'll help out with Promos sometime :)

You're welcome.
A note though about the examples that you "added back in"— I commented them out because they are zero-context examples. They are supposed to stay commented out (invisible) until they have more context so that someone who has never seen the series can read them and understand how the series uses those tropes. They need to remain hidden until they have that context. See https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/ZeroContextExample

Just wanted to raise a concern on the use of spoilers.
The series being a sequel to Promos was an actual surprise for viewers when it premiered and leaving that information not in spoilers kind of ruins a major surprise as intended by the series itself (Alex Bale even said in a Q&A for Promos that the sequel show would first appear without making it clear it was a sequel).
The other edits are appreciated (especially style ones as I'm not great with this site's tags, would like someone to touch up the Promos page if possible).
