Hi Manuel,

I am very sorry for the delay in response to this. After your initial reply I got myself lost in some research on a planned option for spoiler tagging in Discussions, and exploring if we were in a place to test that out here. We're not yet, but we'll keep you in mind!

To address your feedback:

1. Article display in the mobile apps will be updated to work more like mobile web article display in the future. There are a few other disparities like the one you mentioned, and we're eager to address those too.

2. Regarding spoilers in Discussion post subjects or first few sentences, this has been addressed on other communities in various ways. Looking at some of the recent posts, I think I see some examples of spoilers (but since I don't know the franchise I won't detail them here!) What I would like to do is work with the users who have been or will be modding and discuss strategy. Looks like GodKingReiss and AhmedHadi1? Or, if you wish, we (Fandom) and some users we've been working with can step in and take over modding for a while to get spoiler behavior under control. Let me know what you think!

Category/filter selection is saved/cookied at the user level and so there is no community-level default. And we do have some tagging functionality planned for spoilers, though this will likely need to wait until rich text formatting arrives. Which brings me to your last item...

3. Rich text formatting, video embedding and even polls are all things we plan to support, so by the time Forum is retired I believe you'll be able to create posts that have functions like the one you linked. These will be really outstanding actually! And really engaging for the app users as well as the web users. It's not likely that we'll be supporting the use of wikitext templates in Discussions, however. So some conventions will have to be adjusted, but that will likely just be in the area of styling rather than functionality. There may be some trade-offs, but as Discussions evolves we are looking forward to working with you on how this type of structured post can work best. It's very much the type of content we imagine being created in the fully realized feature.
