	On the Final Fantasy wiki, I spotted a spoiler gimmick that's so simple I'm surprised we didn't try it. They have an additional tag, <nowiki>{{endspoiler}}</nowiki>, that is basically just an anchor tag that can be jumped to via a "skip this section" link in the spoiler tag.

	Since we're tweaking the spoiler tag, perhaps this would be a good opportunity to write an actual spoiler policy akin to the [[Transformers Wiki:Caption\|Caption]] policy page rather than linking to Wikipedia for this.
