Some general information on spoilers:
General
Media (Games, movies,etc.)
plot summaries
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 thr future.
Characters
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 unknown status
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
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.
