With all the arguing (and of course this is hardly the first time it has come up), it seems the main arguments still boil down to:
Some people really like spoiler-warning tags, and think they're a nice service. Some people really hate spoiler-warning tags, and think they're unencyclopedic.Personally, I suspect that the vast majority don't much care one way or the other. (Me, I'm not a fanatic about not getting spoiled, but I don't even notice the templates, excessive though some claim they are -- they just slide on by, beneath the radar, as I'm reading.)
The last time this came up, I thought we'd tentatively decided to try rigging up a way so spoiler warnings could be dismissed by people who don't want to see them (much like the WMF announcement du jour in the page header). That seems like a pretty ideal compromise. Did that idea fall by the wayside, or what?
As far as I understand, it's a simple matter of putting one line in your user CSS file. What that line is, I don't know, but I'm sure someone else does. ~~~~
