Reminder that we are not beholden to the rules of other sites, including spoiler policies. We are under no obligation to obey a creator or work that says, "DoNotSpoilThisEnding." You can approach spoilers that way or even avoid troping them if you want, but you may not cut our wiki content or tell others what they may not trope according to the dictates of someone offsite.[[note]]''Theatre/TheMousetrap'' is the exception. Longstanding tradition.[[/note]]

There is a special version of this rule for Characters subpages: do not ever conceal the name of a character in a folder or header. Again, if someone has to highlight the name of the character to find out what they aren't supposed to look at, it's useless.
If this policy would cause a page to contain an unconscionable quantity of genuine spoilers, then remove all spoiler tagging and place a '''bold warning''' at the top that unmarked spoilers are present.

{{Spoiler}}s are our stock-in-trade here at TV Tropes -- you can't talk about stories and plots without revealing the details of the stories and plots, which might ruin the experience for people who haven't yet had the chance to view that work. To combat this, we have the spoiler tag, markup [=[[spoiler:some text]]=].
