While waiting
to kill it with a stick, I am pleased to note that the
current version of {{spoiler}} notes that sections headed "Plot
summary" or similar are likely to contain ... plot elements.
Could those of you who despise this thing please take the time to go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Spoiler
and remove it from ten or so articles where this is clearly the case?
At least then if, God forbid, the accursed thing isn't killed after
all, its harm will have been mitigated.
Good plan.
