Although this issue has been done to death (though I tend to think the debate has mostly been a matter of people from outside the relevant fandoms saying "Erm, these are totally unencyclopedic" and then the fandoms shouting a lot and getting their way), I'd like to note that the focus on spoiler warnings and on not revealing spoilers in an article is, in a fundamental sense, totally contrary to the process of writing an encyclopedia.
Someone once tried to add the spoiler template to [[Night (book)]] -- which is about the Holocaust. :-|
