Why do we demand unanimity in favour of removal, when there is clearly a complete lack of unanimity for inclusion? The onus is on the person seeking to include disputed content to achieve consensus for its inclusion. Where is the consensus for use of the vaguely-defined term "spoiler"?
Guy (JzG)
There is a wide mailing-list, Usenet, web board, and so forth consensus to use spoiler tags.
It's considered a normal part of internet culture.
That is not to say that Wikipedia must slavishly follow aspects of internet culture which may be orthogonal or opposed to the core Wikipedia project goals...
But that's where it's coming from. And the case that the tags are in fact orthogonal or opposed to the core project goals is poorly argued.
