Spoiler-symbol

Spoilers on this site are regarded as any summary, description, remark, image, or other means of submitting information which reveals important plot elements and/or outcomes of a piece of fictional media. Such information has the ability to "spoil" the enjoyment of such media for the article reader by taking away the suspense and dramatic tension the reader would have otherwise experienced with the media.

Because the Kung Fu Panda Wiki sustains a non-written respect policy to its readers and contributors, we want the community to show that same respect to those who haven't yet seen, played, or read a particular piece of Kung Fu Panda media.

Marking spoilers

  • All qualifying spoiler content on this wiki must be marked via the appropriate marking method.
  • All wiki contributors reserve the right to add Kung Fu Panda information that may or may not be considered spoilers, and to do so without consequence. However, to qualify for this right, that information must be marked. Not doing so will result as such:
    • The unmarked spoiler content will either be marked or removed on the spot, depending on the specific circumstances and/or conditions of the content.
    • The contributor who added the unmarked spoiler content, whether intentionally or not, may face consequences.
  • Rule of thumb: If you're not sure whether something is considered to be a spoiler or not, mark it anyway. Someone else will come to decipher it later.

What to mark

The following are what should be marked as spoilers:

GreenCheck All images and sections of text involving and/or including plot information from qualifying spoilers. All mainspace articles (media, character, location, object, etc.) apply to this policy.
RedX EXCEPTION: Pre-released content from DreamWorks or any other official source. See third bulletpoint in "What NOT to mark."
GreenCheck Remarks on discussion pages (comment sections, message walls, forum threads, article talk pages, etc.) that refer to important plot details from qualifying spoilers. Please be respectful to passing-by readers by marking spoilers in all discussions.
In addition, all topic names must not contain spoilers. When naming discussions about spoiler media, please be mindful of what words or phrases could be considered spoilers. Be specific, but also ambiguous.
GreenCheck Anything else under the discretion of an administrator.

What NOT to mark

The following should not be marked as spoilers:

RedX Everything from the original film, Kung Fu Panda. Because this site was originally created after the first film, the information is formatted under the assumption that readers and/or contributors of this site have already seen the film in its entirety.
RedX Media that has been out for a substantial amount of time. Spoilers shouldn't stay marked forever, so this policy follows upon the amount of time it takes for a movie to be released on DVD—which is roughly around 3–5 months.[1]
RedX Pre-released content from DreamWorks or any other official source. Because this kind of information has been made available to the open public prior to its respective media's release, it is not regarded on this site as spoilers. This includes plot synopses, character information, promo images, screencaps from trailers/spots/clips/etc., and all other content originating from an official source.
GreenCheck EXCEPTION: If something is considered by the fandom, community, and/or media to be leaked, it will automatically qualify as spoilers.
GreenCheck EXCEPTION (OPTIONAL): If pre-released material exposes typical major spoiler elements, such as images or a large portion of story, it may qualify as spoilers. However, because the material is still considered pre-released, marking these as spoilers is optional.
RedX Anything else under the discretion of an administrator.

How to mark spoilers

Spoiler banner

  • Description: Uses the template {{Spoilers}} to announce when a page contains spoiler content. The template's appearance allows the reader to be warned ahead of time when spoiler content is in the article, and to give them the ability to immediately navigate away from the page if desired. Also contains links to this policy.
  • Conditions of use: Default method for marking articles containing spoilers.
  • What to use it on: Articles (header)
  • Instructions:
  1. At the very top line of the article, copy-paste {{Spoilers}}.
  2. Optionally, you may use the template to indicate if the article spoils a particular media by adding a link to said media in the template code. Do this by copy-pasting {{Spoilers|<link to specific media (optional)>}}, replacing the bracketed text as indicated with a wiki link.
  • Example:

Code:

{{Spoilers|''[[Kung Fu Panda 4]]''}}

Spoiler tags

  • Description: Uses the templates {{spoiler}} and {{endspoiler}} to "box in" spoiler content. The templates' appearance and functions allow the reader to be warned ahead of time when spoiler content is coming up, and to give them the ability to automatically skip over the information. Also contains links to this policy.
  • Conditions of use: Default method for marking text spoilers.
  • What to use it on: Articles, comments, messages
  • Instructions:
  1. On a separate line before the spoiler content, copy-paste {{spoiler}}.
  2. On a separate line after the spoiler content, copy-paste {{endspoiler}}.
  3. If there is already another set of the same spoiler markers somewhere on the page, edit {{spoiler}} and {{endspoiler}} to contain the same unique ID. E.g. {{spoiler|<e1>}}, {{endspoiler|<e1>}}. This will make it so that clicking on "Skip section" will skip to the right endspoiler tag and not any of the other ones on the page. The ID can be anything as long as they are unique and exactly the same.
  • Example:

Code:

{{spoiler}}

End of spoilers.  Back to original tag ↑

Spoiler filler text

  • Description: Marks a comment or other discussion message as a spoiler by placing filler text before the spoiler comment text. This helps to not display the spoiler comment text in the wiki's Recent Activity feed that isn't able to generate the spoiler tags.
  • Conditions of use: Alternative method for marking non-article text spoilers.
  • What to use it on: Comments, messages
  • Instructions:
  1. In a separate paragraph before your comment text, copy-paste a line of "spoiler" filler text (containing the word "spoiler" at least 19 times).
  • Example:

Code:

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS 

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Footnotes

  1. This isn't to imply that something (a movie, for example) must be released out on DVD (or in other various formats) before having spoilers unmarked. There is just a general assumption that around that time, it's been released long enough for most readers to have the chance to view, play, and/or read it. May still be left at the discretion of an administrator.
