Proposal

A simple one for you today. The Fandom wiki for Bluey uses a similar format for its episode pages with synopsis - then plot - then characters - then behind the scenes etc. But they do something I had not seen before (I try not to browse Fandom but this was an emergency). See here https://blueypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Sleepytime they use this code to automatically hide the detailed plot summary

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%" data-expandtext="Spoilers ahead">

the result looks like this. Click to view the rest of my post:

I suggest that we turn this into a template and use for all our story pages with detailed plot summaries since it allow fans to research a story they haven't watched without being fully spoiled. It would also make pages like Newtons Sleep (novel) much more navigable.

Count me as neutral for now but willing to be convinced. (In practical terms this seems easily feasible by bot if we went forward with it, so there's that.)
It seems slightly problematic to me that "Spoilers ahead" would be using a very different meaning of "spoilers" than we typically use on the Wiki; could we find a better term? Also, would this only be for the full plot synopsis, or also for the shorter "Summary" which might, also, reveal "the ending" in broader terms?
Also, as another meaningless quibble, I think the text should be centred, not skewed to the right. --Scrooge MacDuck 14:19, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
