Title: Spoiler Tags
Post by: Snail on June 12, 2008, 10:41:43 am
Spoiler:
They really aren't necessary. Spoiler tags. In the Wiki, I mean. Everyone who is reading the Wiki has probably already played FS2, and if they haven't, well then they shouldn't be reading that page. Only a few pages have them, and it's a little strange that some have spoiler tags while the majority don't. IMO they should either be removed, or be placed on every single page regarding storyline on the Wiki, which would be pretty stupid. I'd like to hear your thoughts before I go on a crusade or whatever.

They are useful in my opinion.  Probably not useful on the wiki though.

Another reason why they're not useful is because they're like this:

There are some spoilers ahead, be careful. :)

Seriously, just slap a line on the front page saying "This wiki contains spoilers!" and then get rid of all the other spoiler tags.

I say, who gives a ****.

But anyone willing to go through all the pages and remove the spoiler tags is welcome. Either do a search for "spoiler", which will show you all of the points in the Wiki where that text shows up, or go to the spoiler template and see what pages link there.

Yes, that would be the best solution. We could, however, still use the spoiler tags for user-made campaigns.

I'm actually in favor of keeping them, for the reason TopAce posted.
