Templates for marking and managing spoilers

Usage guidelines:

Situation Suggestion
An article contains various spoilers out in the open put a warning at the top of the page, such as template:spoilerwarning
An article contains a spoiler out in the open wrap it template:spoiler and template:endspoiler (this is depreciated, see next rows)
An article contains a spoiler out in the open: simple text, links, images, etc wrap it in a simple concealer box, such as template:spoilerbox
An article contains a spoiler out in the open: with tables or complex formatting wrap it in a concealer box ends, such as template:spoilerboxbegin and template:spoilerboxend
An article contains a link to another article with spoilers on it wrap the link in a labeller, such as template:spoilerlink

Note: there is no need to add the article to a spoiler category, these templates do that automatically.

Classes of spoilers:

Class Description Example
none normal text This is a good sturdy sword that does a fair amount of damage
spoiler gives away plot/puzzle/location details The sword can be found under the bush behind the house
mechanics discusses game mechanics The sword does 2d8 damage, has a weight of 3 and speed of 5
technical technical details about the game or engine The sword icon is drawn in 16 colors and stored in sword.gif. It's details are in a table in weapons.dat.

For articles/link with multiple types of spoilers, use the spoiler category as a generic catch-all.
