Forum:CT Archive/Spoilers

We have three basic routes for handling spoilers:
 * 1) Decide that users come to Wookieepedia in search of information and acknowledge the possibility of spoilers, therefore we do not use any warnings.
 * 2) We apply general spoiler warnings to material from new sources up to a certain time limit.
 * 3) We apply specific spoiler warnings to material from new sources up to a certain time limit.
 * 4) We use source specific templates.
 * 5) We use a parameter for the source (and maybe the date).

I am making an educated guess that we will be most interested in the third option. The strength of specific templates is that when the deadline arrives, it will be easy to use  to find the spoiler tags and remove them. The strength of a parameter template is that users are unlikely to remember the shortcuts for specific source spoilers, unless we make them very clear. For fun, I've thrown together some samples of both varieties. Ignore the style for the moment, as I designed them to be different than our current spoilers to avoid any confusion. Note: The inclusion of the date note can be removed as well.
