Detailed a bit current approach with spoilers
==What is a Spoiler ?==
So I've been wondering where should we draw the line to what is a spoiler and what isn't ? I think it is a brilliant idea personally. To know that I can visit any article and not have significant spoilers about a creature, or area, or strategy for a boss etc.
 
On the other hand, let's face it everyone is sharing all those things in global chat already. And it could be argued that simply visiting a Wiki is looking for spoilers. Hmm.
 
* A middle line I'm considering is to documented whatever landmarks or creatures are in the main zone article, but in the main zone article say no more about them (just a simple listing). It is kind of a guide, or a teaser to content that's there. Or even just a reminder, that, yes, certain plants or animals are available in this zone. If the player wants to know more, they can follow the link.
 
* For puzzles and other locations that were intentionally made difficult to find should go in a [[Template:Spoiler]].
 
* Medium spoilers for quest completion goes in a [[Template:Hint]] like this. {{Hint|Hi I am a tooltip spoiler!}} These can be used "inline" and make for nicer layout. Using the Template is recommended because later we can replace it with a fancy popup if needed.
 
* Likes/Dislikes, Quests and Services (Consignment, Storage) are revealed in the articles without Spoiler. It just makes the article layout too complicated. It also does not deprive the player of much, seeing as you soon understand that favor will unlock benefits, and you still have to work at them.
 
* Monster's Weaknesses or peculiarities that are normally earned through Anatomy I tend to put in a Template:Hint.
 
Of course that's just my preferences for now. Put it here for discussion once more editors show up.

In the specific articles (creature, boss, dungeon), sections that give significant hints or precise locations of things that were intentionally made difficult to find should probably go in a spoiler?
 
It would be nice if the content inside the spoiler tag can be formatted like the rest of the article.
