		+	== Damage templates ==
		+
		+	Just a heads up, I updated the damage type templates to accept an optional parameter for displaying damage numbers, so editors won't have to use/remember those clunky color codes and things stay consistent if the damage type coloring templates are changed.

		+	:: Like you've pointed out, best practice would be to use the spoiler template for hiding infobox text and short inline spoilers {{spoiler\|such as this}} in the middle of sentence or paragraph. Using it that way should also take care of any contrast issues as there will be an obvious gap in the text.

	Hey, the {{t\|spoiler}} CSS has been cached long enough to work for about all users. I discreetly put it on [[Abram\|the infoboxes]] we [[Jack Quicksilver\|talked about]] and also [[Nucleus\|here]] as an example of how it looks like in body text. What do you think? - [[User:Epeli\|epeli]] ([[User talk:Epeli\|talk]]) 04:53, 7 January 2017 (CST)		Hey, the {{t\|spoiler}} CSS has been cached long enough to work for about all users.

		+	: It's perfect! Thanks, this definitely takes care of the infobox problem.
		+
		+	: The Nucleus example is a bit more interesting. In daylight, the black spoiler on black background was pretty much completely invisible for me. If you haven't told me what to look for, I probably wouldn't have realized there was anything there, and would have just dismissed that section as a placeholder. But I don't usually adjust the brightness of my screen during the day, so maybe this is not a problem for most people. And it's only when there are just a few words like in this case that it becomes much too easy to miss if one doesn't look hard enough, with longer texts this shouldn't be a problem at all. Maybe only partially hiding it would help, for example here by keeping "See" unspoilered and hiding only the quest. Just to give a small warning that there is something there.
