Smash references a lot of things. Because this wiki was made to document those things, mentioning specific plot details in articles is inevitable. A random person who may not know what something is could accidently be spoiled, which is never fun. I think a way to initially block those spoilers would be greatly beneficial. I've seen many other wikis have potential spoilers hidden behind a button that that can be pressed to reveal what was hidden. Below you can support, oppose, and give any other ideas that can be implemented.[[User:The Other Jared|The Other Jared]] ([[User talk:The Other Jared|talk]]) 18:41, January 3, 2021 (EST) | Smash references a lot of things.

#Too many of Smash's spoilers are unavoidable - that Sheik is Zelda, that Lucina is not Marth, that Mecha-Fiora exists, etc. are all inherently spoiled even just in normal gameplay, let alone things like trophy descriptions. Trying to filter out spoilers is next to impossible in the context of Smash. See [[SW:SPOIL]].

#Those many other wikis you reference are generally dedicated to a single franchise or series. Smash obviously is not. And many of the so-called 'spoilers' are common parlance these days. For those that aren't, it would be highly impractical to mask such spoilers in articles. The best we could probably do is a warning flag at the header of certain character pages, and that's still a long way off from what you are proposing. | #Those many other wikis you reference are generally dedicated to a single franchise or series.
