Net outcome: If your article needs {{spoiler}}, it's defective enough it may as well be tagged {{cleanup}}.
Is that a change to the guideline, or just your reading of the apparent consensus on the talk page? I'd obviously rather remove my own toenails than read the entire discussion, but I don't want to be totally ignorant.
It's a real pity that I feel so strongly at odds with consensus. That hasn't happened for me with Wikipedia before. I do feel that there is a place for spoiler warning tags on most articles about fictional subjects, and I don't accept that "a plot summary inherently contains spoilers so don't read it if you don't want the spoilers".
Ho hum.
