That's the IP that's just been blocked for
edit-waring to keep
{{spoiler}} on [[Sleeping Beauty]]
Huh. We need to go through that thing, write a tentative policy based
on it and see if there's any remaining places a {{spoiler}} template
is actually appropriate.
Places it isn't:
* Anywhere under a Plot, Summary, Synopsis, Story or similar header
** Anywhere the spoiler content *should* be under such a header
* Articles about fictional characters - no-one would look them up
without knowing the stories
* Any article where almost the entire article would have to go under a spoiler
* Fairy tales, Shakespeare, classical mythology or similar cultural
canon, under the proviso of "don't be stupid"
What's left?
