A spoiler is a piece of information in an article about a narrative work (such as a book, feature film, television show or video game) that reveals plot events or twists.
Spoilers on the Internet are sometimes preceded by a spoiler warning. In Misplaced Pages, however, it is generally expected that the subjects of our articles will be covered in detail. Therefore, Misplaced Pages carries no spoiler warnings except for the Content disclaimer.
It is not acceptable to delete information from an article about a work of fiction because you think it spoils the plot. Such concerns must not interfere with neutral point of view, encyclopedic tone, completeness, or any other element of article quality (for example, WP:LEAD).
