At the very least, I think the pages for dead characters should be in present tense like the rest of the wiki and not blatantly state "This character is dead, here's how it happened" at the very top of the page.

Take Pyrrha's page for example. The third paragraph at the very tippy top of her page before the Table of Contents says this:

"In "End of the Beginning", Pyrrha engaged in battle with Cinder Fall, who had gained full possession of the Fall Maiden's powers. Despite her valiant efforts, Pyrrha was defeated. Cinder murdered her shortly thereafter by shooting her through the chest with an arrow at point-blank range, before disintegrating her remains and scattering her ashes."

Changing her page to be present tense and moving that information lower on the page would allow someone who isn't caught up with the series to take a quick glance at her page to scratch the surface of who she is and then leave without getting spoiled.

To explain my reasoning behind this, I'll compare it to something that I personally do: Whenever I hear about an anime or manga, I sometimes look it up on Wikipedia and then read the first few sentences on the plot summary. I do this because the very beginning of the plot summary tends to explain the setting and the very basics of what the plot is about without being too vague and without spoiling things. After the first bit of the plot summary is where the page begins explaining the actual plot and getting into spoilers, so I refrain from reading further than that. Keeping the spoilers out of the beginning of that summary allows me to take a quick glance at what the series is basically about without spoiling it for myself.

(Honestly, I go to Wikipedia because I feel like, sometimes, some anime sites can be a bit too vague about the story, and I definitely go there if it's something I found out about from Netflix, due to Netflix not having a very good track record at being accurate on their anime descriptions.)
