Since the spoiler warning templates were removed but the material they
were labeling was left in, the analogy breaks down a bit. Deleting the
trivia section template doesn't mean deleting trivia sections themselves.
Since obviously my point wasn't clear enough, let me explain: deleting
templates shows how easy it is to use automated peocedures to make a big,
Wikipedia-wide change that cannot be reversed by people restoring each one
manually, regardless of the actual merit of the change.
