This is the template to be used when providing hints. To use the template, you would type the following:

{{Hint | hint goes here }}

The advantage to this is that any text places where "hint goes here" occurs will be hidden when a user first views the page. This should help users avoid spoilers.

The results look like this:

Hint
This is the Hint

Note, the use of the equals sign outside of math mode will cause errors. To prevent this, use math mode or use {{=}} instead.

See also Template:Answer and Template:Solution for including hints or answers with similar results.
