=== Example ===
{{Spoiler text|This is a blacked-out piece of text}}
=== How to use it ===
The text you wish to black-out should be the first parameter of the {{tl|Spoiler text}} template.  The above example is: <code><nowiki>{{Spoiler text|This is a blacked-out piece of text}}</nowiki></code>
 
=== When to use it ===
This template should be used to black-out spoilers on pages that are otherwise spoiler-less.  For example, the Wiki's [[Main Page]] should always remain spoilerless, however spoilers may be displayed via the Featured Article module is the featured article is a Spoiler-ful article..  In such case, it would be appropriate to use the blacked-out text to hide those spoilers.
