This is an incomplete list of series or bodies of work which are officially free to spoil. Enough time has gone by in enough markets that only one or two humans are left who haven't seen/read it. We feel for them, but not enough to make our wiki look like some sort of weird Swiss cheese.
 
See also [[It Was His Sled]] and [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]. Note that ''[[Agatha Christie (Creator)|The Mousetrap]]'' will '''[[Serious Business|never]]''' be on this list.
 
----
* If [[Public Domain Character|the copyright has expired]], it's probably free to spoil. In the vast majority of countries, this roughly coincides with anything [[Older Than Radio]].
* Anything from myth (e.g. [[Parental Incest|Oedipus]]), religion (e.g. [[The Bible (Literature)|The Bible]]), or even legends (e.g. [[Robin Hood]]). If it's [[Older Than Dirt]] (or at least [[Older Than Feudalism]]), it's definitely OK. That said, ''occasionally'' spoilering Biblical events ({{spoiler|Jesus dies}} but {{spoiler|comes back to life}}) is [[Rule of Funny|often very funny]]. Just don't go overusing it.
* The cat is likewise out of the bag for all of [[William Shakespeare]]'s plays.
* If you spoiler-tag a ''fact'', something that happened in [[Real Life]], you have our full and express permission to punch yourself in the face. Unless you do it [[Rule of Funny|to be funny]], then the person who doesn't realize it's a joke and angrily deletes the tag has the face punching permission.
