This is nonsense. People don't read Wikipedia for "the knowledge", as if the only possibilities were all knowledge or none. They may want some knowledge without wanting other knowledge; spoilers may fall in the second category.
Is it even possible to accomodate those people, though?
Answering my own question, yes, it is possible, but the current spoiler templates, as implemented, don't do anything to accomplish it.
