Do we have spoiler tags installed on this wiki?

[The_real_cal_howard]

Checking the media wiki, and that exists. It would be very helpful to this site if we did, so well...do we?

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

I think a person should ecpect spoilers without the need of someone else pointing it out for them.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

True, but it's just to be on the safe side. For example DBF Wiki has spoiler tags, and I'd assume to expect spoilers from there as well, due to the nature of their site being somewhat similar to ours.

 

[Unclechairman]

If we install these, are they going to look like TV Tropes?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Not sure.

 

[DontTalk]

Do you mean those things with spoiler tags, or something like a generalized message box, or...?

 

[Unclechairman]

Is that what it's going to look like?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

That's a perfect example, DT.

 

[DontTalk]

Well, in that case we do have the function. Either as shown above through

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Spoiler" data-collapsetext="Spoiler">Spoiler</div>

or through

Spoiler
<div class="mw-customtoggle-Feats wikia-menu-button">Spoiler</div> <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-Feats"> Spoiler </div>
to get a button. (the later also has the advantage that in profiles aligns to the left, while the prior aligns to the right)

 

[Unclechairman]

So does this mean I'm going to have to learn how to use this soon?

 

[Antvasima]

Well, it seems possible to use them then, but like Kkapoios mentioned, it seems unnecessary, and we cannot go through thousands of profiles to insert them.

 

[LordAizenSama]

Just use the knowledge to not spoil others in a Verse discussion thread if you want, don't need to use it to meddle with profiles

 

[Antvasima]

Agreed.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Agreed with LAS.

 

[Verivici]

Well, you can also use this

Spoiler
(Text Here)

Btw, the actual coding for the above toggle button is

• <div class="mw-customtoggle-Feats wikia-menu-button">Spoiler</div>
• <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-Feats">'''(Add Desired Text Here)'''</div>

If you want to use it, just copy+paste the coding I have written above (excluding the bullet points)

Spoiler
(Add Desired Text Here)

 

[Unclechairman]

Can you post that somewhere where it won't get buried and lost to time? This thread will eventually be buried amongst the hundreds of other threads in the forum once it runs its course, which would make it difficult to search for and find again when someone wants to use that code.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

^This. I'd rather want to be able to find this in a place where anyone would want to use this for anything.

Then again, i could just put this on my profile somewhere for "safekeepings"....

 

[Primaris_Brian]

Dont mind me, i just testing stuff

 

[Primaris_Brian]

Kek apparently you can still see through spoiler xD

 

[Verivici]

I think my method is less intrusive, though...

 

[Lina_Shields]

Lina Shields

The spoiler tag code has been copied into my profile. Feel free to use the coding as you see fit (just copy+paste the code) and type the spoiler in the (Add Desired Text Here) section of code.

 

[Unclechairman]

I think my method is less intrusive, though...

It requires highlighting to read, though, while Lina's method requires just a click. It'd be better if it worked like TV Tropes' spoiler tags.
