What about for advance spoilers, of the Ghost Story variety? I assume we consider that lots of people won't think of the advance book hints and clues and such, and may not appreciate having that spoiled for them.

I think those should be kept in the Spoilers zone without spoiler tag, what we have is a publicly available blurb, some conjectures and a lot of imagination...

Hmm. Should an FAQ section simply contain the answers, or should they have the answers AND a link to the actual post where the question is incontrovertibly answered? I know there are a number of people who aren't satisfied with an answer until they can see with their own eyes the WoJ on the subject.

Maybe split up the FAQ by book/character?

Dunno, just woodshedding here.

I think the most rigorous way of writing a FAQ is using footnotes1 for the references.

The organization is trickier though, I think it should go by character with a big disclaimer that the FAQ is a spoiler free section: "Enter at your own peril". I thought about using the spoiler tags for the answers, but sometimes the question itself is a spoiler and then you would have a full darkened FAQ which will serve no purpose.
