Difference between revisions of "Help:Spoilers"

* If you are viewing an old version of a page (either through the Time Machine or otherwise), then clicking the "Edit" button on the page will load the edit window ''with the text of that old version''. Editing therefore should generally not be done with the Time Machine active, as it will incidentally revert changes to the page after that old version.

 

=== Pop-up ===

The first time someone visits the Coppermind and again after a new book releases, a notice with a warning about spoilers and a link to the [[Special:TimeMachine|Time Machine]] will cover the page they are on, requiring them to acknowledge the risk of spoilers before proceeding. This notice is served via [[MediaWiki:Common.js]].

 

=== Site notice ===

 

=== Spoiler notices ===

The red spoiler warnings placed on pages with information from a book that is still in its spoiler period are generated by the {{t|spoilers}} template. To add a spoiler warning, use {{t|spoilers|''first book code from [[Template:B]]''|''second book code from [[Template:B]]''|''etc.''}}. For example, if an article contains spoilers for ''[[{{b|sa3.5}}|{{b|sa3.5|text=y}}]]'', you would add {{t|spoilers|sa3.5}}. If spoilers from ''[[{{b|sa4}}]]'' are then added, you would change this to {{t|spoilers|sa3.5|sa4}} and, once the ''[[{{b|sa3.5}}|{{b|sa3.5|text=y}}]]'' spoiler period is over, you would then change this {{t|spoilers|sa4}}. Once the ''[[{{b|sa4}}]]'' spoiler period is over, the template can be removed completely (assuming new books haven't been added).
