Ken, you're being a broken record. It's getting to the point of whining now, IMO.
Do you know *how* many times I've seen the argument about spoiler warnings that since the user can already figure out that a plot section contains a spoiler, it must not be labelled? And do you know how many times I've pointed out the ease of use and consistency argument, and nobody bothers to pay attention? Let's just say, lots of times.
Yes, that's what Matthew just pointed out. You seem to have missed the point he was making, which is that this is tedious and doesn't make anyone care any more than they do.
I note on Harry Potter-related articles, the {{current fiction}} tag is achieving some currency. This is analogous with the {{current}} tag for real-world events. Nicely consistent and gets rid of the argument that sections containing plot elements should be redundantly marked {{spoiler}} because the work is a recent release.
