Correction: The people who cared about spoiler templates decided against spoiler templates. The people who thought it was a nonissue didn't participate. It would be hugely dysfunctional to act as though that particular instance sets a binding precedent towards all future instances, even ones that -- like this, and decidedly unlike spoiler templates -- are important.
My point wasn't so much "we did X there so we must do X here too," but rather "X made the most sense in that discussion because of the Y argument, and I think Y applies here too, therefore I think X makes the most sense here as well."
