Can anyone give me a 1-sentence description of the net outcome of the recent spoiler war? I notice that wp:spoiler now refers to the need for a "compelling reason" for the inclusion of a spoiler, which is a much better, more nuanced position than many real and strawman arguments I heard from both sides (ie, "no spoilers ever" and "spoilers everywhere"). But I'm not sure what the actual policy was before, so could someone enlighten me?
Net outcome: If your article needs {{spoiler}}, it's defective enough it may as well be tagged {{cleanup}}.
