User blog:NoGround/Kumo Desu Spoilers are Tricky

So yesterday we handled the Kumoko and Shiraori pages. They still need some work, but the most egregious problem has been solved, at least we think: spoilers. Kumo Desu ga, Nani Ka? seems like a generic monster-isekai at first, but there's a major problem when dealing with plot points: the story completely flips on its head half-way through. Secrets are revealed and the innocence of the game is lost.

On top of that, the tone shifts to one of a dungeon-crawler to that of world-encompassing, including a much larger cast of characters that was only hinted at in the parallel story told from Schlain's perspective. This side of the story, contrary to first impressions, is not an aside. It is a critical perspective of the over-arching story, just to give you a hint.

Either way, before yesterday both the Kumoko and Shiraori pages revealed some of these spoilers right in the headers and the character sheets. In order to solve this, we had to remove a lot of what others might consider necessary information from the Shiraori page. This was to keep the integrity of the plot hidden for casual viewers. I have already seen multiple instances of people being spoiled by the wiki, and I hope this solves the issue.

The next thing to tackle is that Shiraori is the #1 most viewed page on the wiki, and has been for a while. With the navbar the way it is, we can't redirect attention to Kumoko as easily. The Kumoko page only shows up in mentions around monster sheets and the character tab on the homepage.

Either way, there are a lot of spoilers surrounding Shiraori and it's difficult to juggle them all. So far, so good though. Things keep moving forward.
