Revision as of 14:19, 12 June 2024
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
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)
