[edit] Fate/Stay Night
Every other wiki article does NOT have spoilers on the main page, only the poorly written ones or the ones that have a small enough amount of content that seperate pages wouldn't make sense. A good example of how a Wiki page of the type Fate should be is to look at the Bleach pages. Hence why major spoilers for Fate are being put on the character pages instead of the main page. There's nothing worse than browsing the main article for something to get a general idea about something and having spoilers like "Saber is King Arthur!" or "Archer is Shirou!" right there. Spoiler tags don't do a thing when they're right before a section like that, since you'll see them as soon as you see the tags. You're more than welcome to rewrite the article as you see fit, but I'm just as welcome to go in and edit afterwards. A little common courtesy towards ALL those who visit the site goes a long way, so I ask you to please keep major spoilers to a minimum and put the others on character pages. It just solves so many problems before they start. On a side note, I certainly hope you weren't the one who thought Aoko Aozaki was in Fate and that she was Caster(Assassins Master). ^_^;;; Nezu 06:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm a registered user, so no I didn't make that edit. The Bleach page has gone downhill IMO. Take a look at any of the Harry Potter, Die Hard or Lost articles. They all contain plot synopses, I'm certain it's the same for every other TV series, movie, book and manga. Sure spoilers are bad but this is an encyclopedia not a message board and as such a plot synopsis is sorely needed on the F/S N page which I'm sure you've been discouraging people to make with your actions.

I do not know what is going on here, but I have to agree with Bowen that the Fate/Stay Night page is a poor excuse for a Wikipedia... However, I'm tenative to say, LET'S GO PUT SPOILERS ON THE ENTIRE PAGE! WEE! HEY GUYS! YOU KNOW ARCHER IS REALLY EMIYA SHIROU'S FUTURE SELF! OMG DID YOU KNOW THAT SAKURA IS REALLY RIDER'S SERVANT! I have to agree that spoilers should go on Character pages. However, I see no character pages other than Archer and Saber, and those are still poor excuses for Wikipedias... Even the picture of Shirou getting owned by Berserker is bad enough. The wiki is bad enough for Beast's Lair to comment on it... which is why, even though I have no idea how to Wiki... I've decided to work on it. Mirioki 01:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't see why it was "hardly worth having individual page(s) for each character" seeing as it's a highly extensive novel game long before the anime came out. Oh well, anyway, Nezu doesn't seem so bad as she helped me expand the Rider character page. I have plans for that page too... Mirioki 15:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
There wasn't significant intrest in the subject at the time to warrant around 10 articles Bowen 16:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- Okay. Well, there are now a total of 23 articles I put up ready to be expanded, most of which are extremely bare! Help on the FSN page is highly warranted, especially now! If you want to spill the spoilers into it, now is the time to do it. Just don't put anything more on the main page... There's nothing much we can put on it without spoiling anything... unless you think otherwise. Mirioki 6:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
