In a game's case, a playthrough or a page in the wikia would be a spoiler, because its somewhere you can find about the game without playing it. But in these images' case, it doesn't reveal anything about the plot, and you wouldn't need to play the game to know Kano would be there, as it would be revealed by the trailers themselves and you would have to know eventually. It isn't spoiler and it shouldn't have an alert for that.

You're ignoring the point Maculyn and passive aggression never got anyone anywhere, an image can be as good as a spoiler compared to a video, if a leaked image showed a character's death before the media was released, it would be considered a spoiler. Let's take Merle Dixon's death into account, images of him being a walker were leaked marking it as a spoiler for the episode he died in, leaks reveal spoilers for unreleased content where the developer reveal information they WANT you to know.

You're using a wiki what's designed to have information for the content it hosts? Okay, leaks are something I loathe greatly due to them giving major spoilers what users may (or may not) want as they simply want to look at official information what's been released.

Halo 3: ODST was released early in France and in turn was considered a leak as the information about the game was revealed before its set date. An image doesn't have to reveal plot points for it to not be a spoiler if it's leaked.

In terms of your logic about a wiki it simply can't be used, a wiki is used for information of what's known about a product (if it's not released) or all the information what can be noted (if it's released). Because a leak isn't officially released information it can (and often is) be considered a spoiler.
