Quoting Peter Ansell <ansell.peter(a)gmail.com>om>:
It was a big issue on the mailing list and the wiki,
and apart from
the one forum link to start this thread, doesn't seem to be a big
issue to casual readers.
A solution which requires a user.css action to opt-in to displaying
spoilers is focused on wiki users, and leaves casual users who so far
haven't said a whole lot, it seems, out of touch, although if they
have an account they can utilise the system just as easily.
A few points. First, that thread was actually initiatated by Kizor who is an
admin. Second, how would we get any feedback from people about the spoiler
warnings? Where do they think they'd go to complain about it?
On a related note, can anyone think of a way to get info from the general
public? The best possibility I can think of is to have after the
donation drive
is over a general poll linked to at the top of the pages. Something like
"Wikipedia is doing a poll of its readers about spoiler tags" and then a link.
