Hello! I saw you re-spoilered some quest items which I'd removed spoiler tags for, specifically a few in the potato quests. I think we should phase out use of spoilers on these pages and I'd removed the ones I did because there's so little info otherwise in these articles, and they are only really linked to from the quest pages - if someone finds themselves on a quest item article it's because they're looking for some very specific info. Also - the spoiler table doesn't collapse for mobile users (which are more then 1/2 of visitors), but section headers do automatically. So their user flow is to click 'Use' anyway to toggle the info - but then they see 'spoiler' listed over and over for info that isn't actually spoilered. The template was never designed for quest pages to be used like this. I just wanted to discuss with you before rolling back edits/cleaning any of it up! -- [[User:Marblemadmax|Marblemadmax]] ([[User talk:Marblemadmax|talk]]) 19:17, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Spoilers on Quest Items

Hello! I saw you re-spoilered some quest items which I'd removed spoiler tags for, specifically a few in the potato quests. I think we should phase out use of spoilers on these pages and I'd removed the ones I did because there's so little info otherwise in these articles, and they are only really linked to from the quest pages - if someone finds themselves on a quest item article it's because they're looking for some very specific info. Also - the spoiler table doesn't collapse for mobile users (which are more then 1/2 of visitors), but section headers do automatically. So their user flow is to click 'Use' anyway to toggle the info - but then they see 'spoiler' listed over and over for info that isn't actually spoilered. The template was never designed for quest pages to be used like this. I just wanted to discuss with you before rolling back edits/cleaning any of it up! -- Marblemadmax (talk) 19:17, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Sorry about that. We put spoilers on quests so it wasn't clear what the best practices are for spoilers on the same info on quest items. But that's a good point and I will remove the spoiler tags. If you see any formatting inconsistencies like that and want to put them on the admin noticeboard or w/e, I can follow what the decision is.
No need to apologize - none of this reasoning is listed as a policy anywhere and there were a bunch of articles using the spoilers already. Really appreciate your working to make the formatting consistent, and in this case it wasn't clear at all a standard layout -- Marblemadmax (talk) 01:53, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
