| ** If the spoiler concerns the subject matters of the article, it is acceptable to leave it unhidden, provided there is a spoiler warning at the top of the article.
| |

|
| |
| == Spoiler warnings ===
| |
| When creating an article that includes spoilers, you should add a {{tlink|spoiler warning}} to the top of the page or section, if no spoilers appear above that section in the article.
| |
| <pre>{{SpoilerWarning|act=1}}</pre>
| |
| {{SpoilerWarning|act=1}}
| |
| Specify which act the spoiler applies to, per the example. For recurring characters who appear in more than one act, it may make more sense to use the general act-agnostic spoiler warning:
| |
| <pre>{{SpoilerWarning}}</pre>
| |
| {{SpoilerWarning}}
