Spoiler warnings =

When creating an article that includes spoilers, you should add a {{spoiler warning}} to the top of the page or section, if no spoilers appear above that section in the article.

{{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:

{{SpoilerWarning}}
