So, uh, I strongly feel that the final trivia bulletpoint needs to be rewritten to include or be preceded by a spoiler warning. I was just slapped with a pretty major (and very unwelcome) Homestuck spoiler out of nowhere. There is currently no context which would give the average reader pause to think "gee, there might be a spoiler for another fandom coming up, I should stop reading if I don't want whatever this information is to be spoiled for me." The reasonable assumption when seeing page topper spoiler warnings throughout the wiki is that those warnings apply to the UnderTale content on the page; as such, this case would not be one in which a spoiler warning on the page would be appropriate or effective.

The Homestuck spoiler is the final sentence (so, Homestuck spoiler warning for anybody who doesn't want to be spoiled on this like I just was): "[...] Referencing this is probably due to some pretty spoiler-heavy relations between Lil' Cal and, as previously mentioned, Gamzee."

Rather than just editing the page outright, I wanted to confer with the UnderTale Wikia community. Since it's possible that spoilers for other fandoms are present on other pages, setting a style precedent/establishing a standard for non-UnderTale spoiler warnings may warrant a wider discussion. I'm new to Wikia, but is this something that could be added to the list of potential front-page user polls?

Anyway, the specific spoiler warning addition I am suggesting would be something along these lines:


 * Also from Homestuck, the character Lil' Cal is probably the inspiration for Migospel's line, "Ha ha hee hee ho ho huu huu!", as Lil' Cal creepily laughs in the same manner. [Spoiler Warning: Homestuck] Referencing this is probably due to the relationship between Lil' Cal and the previously mentioned Gamzee.

The trivia blurb itself could potentially do with a wee rewrite for the sake of readability:


 * [Spoiler Warning: Homestuck] Migospel's line, "Ha ha hee hee ho ho huu huu!," is probably another Homestuck reference; the character Lil' Cal laughs in the same manner. The inclusion of this line is probably a reference to the nature of the relationship between Lil' Cal and the previously mentioned Gamzee.

I'm not going to make these edits at this time, in case they're unwelcome, but I wanted to put it out there that spoilers for other fandoms are an issue. (Credit where it's due, the author of the trivia did try to provide information on the reference without mentioning the full details of the spoiler, but I don't think it can be argued that the way it's written now is spoiler-free.)
