Is it possible to add an option to a page that will collapse spoiler text or images into a node that can be expanded? For example if a paragaph gives away the ending of a game that paragraph can be collapsed into an icon that can then be clicked to reveal that portion of the text.

It would have been worth it for me just now because I accidentally saw a Persona 3 spoiler.

There isn't such a feature on Giant Bomb and for good reason.

We're a site dedicated to gathering as much information about video games, developers, publishers and everything related to the industry and that means pages within our Wiki database need and must include spoilers to be as informative as can be. Users should realise that by now when entering a game's specific page in the database that they are putting themselves into a position where reading the article may result in them finding out spoilers about the game.

Having spoiler tags in the middle of an article really defeats the purpose of having an open database of information. If you don't want to get pieces of a game's plot spoiled for you after it is just released then it is probably worth not enterinng its page until you've played the game yourself.

In the case of Persona 3 it has been out long enough that having such a feature for spoilers for this particular game seems a little redundant.

When reading about video games, you should expect spoilers. If you're reading about a game's plot, you can expect spoilers. If you're reading about a character, there could be spoilers anywhere after the first paragraph.
