Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

Details tags to avoid spoilers in comments on Puzzles
I raised on the main Meta Should details tags work in comments? and the results were mixed, including some people strongly opposed to the idea. I expect that different communities will have different reasons for and against, so I'm posting here to get the thoughts of this specific community (Puzzles).
If there is support here for being able to hide sections of a comment to allow discussing a puzzle without spoiling it, then that might be a reason to make this a community-specific setting, so communities that don't want details sections in comments can leave them disabled, but Puzzles can enable them (once promoted to its own community).

I think spoilers (similar to Someplace Else where they use something like !> or alternatively clicking a formatting icon) will be useful for all manner of sites, sooner or later. The <details> <summary> HTML stuff is clunky and cumbersome, no matter if part of an answer or comment.
Spoilers are useful for Puzzles, maybe for Code Golf, definitely for sites discussing literature or movies etc.
