Forum:Spoilers in lead summaries

I remember there being a discussion back when Dantman was actively editing about why Narutopedia uses first appearance images for infoboxes. The reason given was that if we used an "up-to-date" image, that would be a huge spoiler right at the top of the page.

Although we can't avoid putting big-time spoilers out there anyway (anybody who's googled "Tobi" knows that!) I wondered if there are any opinions on cutting down the amount of spoiler content in lead section summaries. For example, Naruto's lead says he wishes to be Hokage like his father was. Maybe it could just say Naruto wishes to be Hokage and then reveal his father's identity somewhere down the page.

I know there's no way of figuring out where to draw the line but just wondering what everybody's opinion on this is.--Karunyan (talk) 05:27, August 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, I don't agree with removing spoiler content from anywhere on any article. It gives a good overview of the article before it's seen. --Speysider Talk Page 16:53, August 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Speysider is not wrong but I can understand the reasoning Karunyan. Perhaps we can make it more of an introduction as opposed to a tl;dr of the entire article. Provide information but not everything. /shrug--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 16:57, August 3, 2013 (UTC)
