This template functions as spoiler tags, i.e. hides a portion of text that can be revealed if the reader wants to read it.
Usage
Code:
{{spoil| }}
Write the hidden text as the unnamed parameter. Please see the examples below!
The template produces a black bar over the hidden text. If the reader chooses to view the hidden text, this bar will turn light grey, revealing the hidden text. On computer, the text is revealed by hovering the cursor over the text. Once the cursor is off from the text, the text will be hidden again. On mobile devices, the reader must click on the bar to reveal the hidden text. Clicking elsewhere on the screen, including another bar, will cause the text to be hidden again.
The hidden text can be multiple lines long.
Limitations
Typical links can be seen through the black bar even when they should be hidden. This is caused by the fact that the links are different colour from the text. In order to avoid links being visible, consider using Template:Blacklink or Template:ColoredLink. Note that the link text will remain black even when the text is revealed, which might cause readers not to recognize it as a link. Mobile users might also accidentally click on a hidden link when trying to reveal the text. Linking templates such as Template:USS might not be usable.
