This guide aims to provide guidance to our editors on what does and does not constitute a spoiler.
 
== What is a spoiler? ==
For the purposes of articles this wiki, excluding the main page, the following is considered a spoiler:
* Plot development and story beats of the main narrative of the game.
** Examples of main story spoilers include, but is not limited to:
{{clist|title=Hidden due to spoilers|
Act One
* Kagha's affiliation with the Shadow Druids
* The Shadow Druids are hiding as rats in the Emerald Grove
* The Artefact is protecting the party from the Absolute
* The Tadpoles have been tampered with by Netherese magic
Act Two
* The Nightsong is a person
* The Nightsong is Dame Aylinn
* Isobel is Ketheric Thorm's daughter
* Isobel died and was resurrected.
* The Chosen of the Absolute/The Dead Three are Gortash, Orin and Ketheric
* The Absolute is an Elder Brain
* Shadowheart might defy Shar
Act three
* The Sharran Mother Superior is Viconia DeVir
* Sarevok is still around
* The Absolute is a Netherbrain
* Gale can attempt Godhood
* Karlach can become a Mind Flayer
* Gortash can betray you and die
}}
** If the spoiler concerns the subject matters of the article, it is acceptable to leave it unhidden, provided there is a spoiler warning at the top of the article.
* Scripted character deaths in any act, including deaths outside of player control.
 
Exceptions:
* Jaheira and Minsc, as characters and companions featured in pre-release marketing material, are not considered spoilers on the wiki.
 
== Spoiler warnings ===
When creating an article that includes spoilers, you should add a {{tlink|spoiler warning}} to the top of the page or section, if no spoilers appear above that section in the article.
<pre>{{SpoilerWarning|act=1}}</pre>
{{SpoilerWarning|act=1}}
Specify which act the spoiler applies to, per the example. For recurring characters who appear in more than one act, it may make more sense to use the general act-agnostic spoiler warning:
<pre>{{SpoilerWarning}}</pre>
{{SpoilerWarning}}
