Forum:New Deus Ex: HR Spoiler tag

These are the newly design spoiler tags.

I am currently designing the Deus Ex: IW tag. -- 13:37, August 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry my friend but personally, I'm not really in favor of spoiler tags since a wiki is already a spoiler in itself. A person who hasn't played Deus Ex Human Revolution is spoiled on any Deus Ex Human Revolution pages. And so for any other Deus Ex games, there is no rule about when to remove the spoiler tag. Deus Ex is already out for 11 years for example, a spoiler tag is really necessary? Also as I say, each page is about a spoiler either, so we should make a spoiler tag on all pages about games, which would be really superfluous. Itachou [~talk~] 14:49, August 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * The main purpose here to give a warning for people who don't want to read spoilers. I considered this because, since the game is out there will be new users in this Wiki just to get an idea about the game/ character background etc, but not to get spoiled about the game. In our current status there is a good chance that those users stumble onto spoilers since there is no spoiler warning. If so the result will be avoiding reading the articles entirely because of fear of getting into spoilers. So we can avoid that by clearly mark the spoilers for them. Most of the gamers don't like to be spoiled before they play the game and we don't need to spoil there fun by allowing them to stumble onto spoilers. -- 03:00, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Im on the fence about this. Normally, Id say no, as Itachou said any wiki is going to be teeming with spoilers by nature. Rather than placing tags on every necessary page (A very time-consuming task where effort could be better spent in other places) maybe we could put a warning on the front page or something? The vast majority of pages will need one somewhere. I might keep up HR spoilers for a few months at the most, but I dont see any use in DX tags. Dorgles 03:57, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
