Spoiler Tags Are Now Here

Welcome to Rockmosis' Developer Blog/Forum #1.

This will be my little place to announce changes and take suggestions to the format of this wikia.

Spoiler tags have been added to hide walls of text or spoilers under a collapsed table. The bit to use it is {{spoiler|your text here}}. You can do your normal paragraph spacing and other stuff within the spoiler tag, just remember to end it with the }}.

It works in source editor and default editor, but not in the new visual editor. But that's not too big of a problem because comments don't use the new visual editor and instead use the default editor. It will only be a problem if you put it into the actual page, but spoiler tags usually aren't used there.

TLDR: Use {{spoiler|your text here}} when you're spoiling something in comments.

uh...well then...is there a way to move comments into forums or something where collapsible elements work?

Talk pages would work...

We can use forums, just tag the discussions to the correct page, but it might be less organized with many different threads for possibly the same topic. Patrolling it might be a pain. Porting is impossible probably.

Hmmm...would it possible to sticky a comment to warn that there are spoilers in the comments or something?

If you are just going to go to each comment yourself and tag it, then just editing the comments would work. Besides that, I don't know if there is a way to optimize that process.

Yay spoilers in comments work now.

To get it working, you might have to bypass browser's cache to see the changes.

Internet Explorer: hold down the Ctrl key and click the Refresh or Reload button, or press Ctrl+F5.

Firefox: hold down the Shift key while clicking Reload; alternatively press Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R.

Opera users have to clear their caches through Tools→Preferences

Konqueror and Safari users can just click the Reload button.

Chrome: press Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5

ok, I will start editing comments then.

Edit:Just wanted to confirm, are we only regarding volume 14 "information" as spoilers.

Edit2:Should speculation based on spoilers be tagged as spoilers?

I guess anything that is untranslated in full can be considered spoilers. Speculation based on spoilers I guess should be considered spoilers as well. If you extend it far enough, stuff not shown in the anime can be considered spoilers, but that would be way too much.

Ok, untranslated stuff should be far enough.

Update: It appears the use of the equal symbol in breaks down the spoiler tags, this prevents font and style from functioning. Not sure if it is the same for any other symbols.

Eg:

this: {{spoiler|your text here =}}

would become:

Spoiler

The problem is that when the = is there, it tries to interpret it as a named variable like in the infoboxes where we put name = something. The template is currently not built for that and I don't know a fix for it. One way is to turn it into a named variable, but when people use it, they'll have to put something before their message. Another way is to put <nowiki> around the message, but I can't get it to automatically work in the template.

I tried out a few more symbols and the one that need to be avoided is | , as anything after will be removed. } might also be problematic as if it is at the end, it will be confused with the ending brackets and there will be an extra bracket after the spoiler.
