Whenever possible, Pikipedia attempts to hide or warn about major spoilers. The definition of a major spoiler is vague, but in general, a reward for a difficult challenge or an important aspect of the storyline (specially near the end of a game) will likely be considered a major spoiler. Pikipedia wants to bring information to the readers while, at the same time, keeping them safe from having their most important gameplay moments spoiled. But for the sake of the encyclopedic value of the wiki, as well as the convenience of most readers, these anti-spoiler warnings and measures will be '''minimal'''.

===Hidden information===
For pages and sections that don't normally contain major spoilers, the information will be displayed like normal, but if a major spoiler has to be included, it will likely be hidden inside a block of text that can be shown or re-hidden by the reader with the click of a button. The section will be hidden when the page loads, but because it relies on Javascript to hide, the block of information '''will''' be visible if Javascript is not running on the web browser. Here is an example of a hidden block of text:

The section will be visible when the page loads, and can be hidden with a button that will appear before the text itself. This relies on Javascript, so if it is not running on the web browser, it will not be collapsible. These pieces of text look like this:


{{spoiler start}}
{{spoiler section|
This text would contain some major spoiler.
