SANJIESAN LORE / Reader editions
Check a reader-facing lore page for unintended reveals
Removing a spoiler paragraph does not necessarily remove every clue around it. World Anvil’s official lessons distinguish public content, private material and selective sharing. Whatever tool you use, prepare a reader edition around what that audience should know, then check the surrounding paths that may reveal more than the visible paragraph.
Set a clear reading boundary
Choose an audience that has reached a specific point in your story, rather than the vague category no spoilers. List a few discoveries that remain beyond that point. Then write the public entry so it still provides useful orientation without those discoveries. A page full of unexplained gaps can be frustrating. Consider whether a shorter complete introduction serves the audience better than a heavily censored internal reference.
Inspect the nearby information surfaces
Read section headings, related-entry titles, image captions and any downloadable reference. A link titled the mayor’s secret identity may reveal the premise even when its destination is restricted. Use labels that serve the intended reader, and keep internal working names separate where needed. If the platform offers visibility controls, verify their current behaviour with the relevant viewer role; a collapsed box is not the same thing as access control.
Read the delivered edition as that audience
Inspect the actual shared page or exported file, using a suitable test view where available. Follow its visible links and search its text for the withheld terms. Keep the test to your own authorised material and roles. If an unexpected reveal appears, fix the specific page or output rather than relying on a generic spoiler warning to excuse it. A clear edition boundary helps readers choose their own pace of discovery.
