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. ;-)
