Line 1: Line 1:
Spoilers for the sake of clarity are defined as major developments or twists in a story or character's life that are revealed outside its source material. Some examples:
Some general information on spoilers:
 
* The death of a major character or someone important to the subject's life
 
* Major plot reveals that were previously only alluded to or completely hidden
 
Revealing such things haphazardly could lead readers getting information told to them when they wanted to be shown to them at the time of reveal. To prevent this, they should only be mentioned the subject's Biography/History/Story/Plot/etc. section.


==General==
==Media (Games, movies,etc.)==
==Media (Games, movies,etc.)==
Plot summaries must contain a spoiler warning either '''from the beginning or before the section before a major plot development or twist occurs''' (The age of the media is irrelevant as many newcomers can and have played older media with no knowledge about it ahead of time). If needed, there will be specific games with spoiler thresholds mentioned here in the future.

Mentioning non-major events in the story that happen to be past the spoiler warning for the character's biography in other parts of the article anr the wiki at large is allowed as long as they're not directly connected to a major plot (i.e. mentioning Tidus' more melancholic narration in Final Fantasy X in his personality section is fine as long as examples aren't related to a major event in the character's life or media's story).
Spoilers can only be mentioned in the character's Biography section (or equivalent, as the wiki is currently inconsistent).
The character's biography can be left without a warning until the '''first major development in in their life from the perspective of the player'''. This means no information from their early life that is shown later (i.e. through flashback) is to be mentioned anywhere except in an appropriate part of their biography.


===Death or other major status===
===Death or unknown status===
If a character dies partway through the story (or is thought to be but is actually alive) or develops or loses some other kind of major condition (like becoming, crippled or undergoing a major personality change), only mention this change
If the subject is a character who dies partway through the story (or is thought to be but is actually alive, or some other pre-established condition that is later changed or proven wrong), only mention this in the relevant part of the article and keep it without mention in the rest of said article.


===Hidden or otherwise part of a reveal===
===Hidden or otherwise part of a reveal===
If the nature of a character is itself a spoiler (as in, this character's existence is mostly unknown or hidden from the player), then simply mark a spoiler warning at the top of the article.
