That's not the point. We still have the spoiler information. We just provide a convienient template (which you can hide) so that the reader can be warned. It is a minor service provide. If it seriously sacrifices the integrity of the article (as is apparently the case in [[The Crying Game]],) we can choose to omit it, or provide a warning for the entire article. I would not be against editing of the guidelines to reflect this, but don't simply discard them entirely.
It's entirely the point. If you go to an article on a novel, only a complete nong would be surprised to find plot details.
Posting a spoiler notice is like putting a warning label on a packet of peanuts. "Warning, may contain nuts."
That sounds like an interesting proposal for changing the text of the spoiler warning. ;-)
